Kingston - Relatives of a Connecticut woman fatally shot by
her son before he killed 26 people at a school then killed himself say in a
statement that they share the grief of the Newtown community and Americans
everywhere.
A sheriff in New Hampshire, where Nancy Lanza once lived,
read the statement on Saturday, saying the family is trying to understand
"the tremendous loss".
Rockingham County
Sheriff Michael Downing said Lanza's brother James Champion, a retired police
captain in New Hampshire, and other relatives express their "heartfelt
sorrow" and "the whole family is traumatised by this event".
Champion would not discuss what might have triggered his
nephew to go on the shooting spree.
Nancy Lanza's family described her as kind, loving and
considerate.
