Sandy Hook killer influenced by violent video games; 5 games that inspired him

The Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza has been said to have been a very shy and quite teen, but in an interview with CNN Lanza was described by his high school friend Alan Diaz as being obsessed with violent video games. “He was a very intelligent person who had the stereotypical nerd look, but he never carried a back-pack, he always carried a computer bag. We all kind of knew that, like, he had problems socially and we kind of had a feeling that he might have had something wrong with him” said Diaz to CNN reporters.

Diaz also mentioned Lanza’s love of video games. “He caught on to video games very fast. I remember playing Warcraft 3 with him, he enjoyed playing the violent game,s but I never really imagined Adam wanting to hold a gun, at one point he was a good kid. The events he did that day may have been evil, but before then he was just another kid.” Take a look at the list of games that Lanza frequently played with his school mates below.
