ALEXANDRIA, La. (BP) -- On Friday morning, Dec. 14, a gunman shot his way into
the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. He gunned down 20 precious
children and six adults before taking his own life. Earlier that same day, the
shooter fired several shots into his mother, killing her while she slept in her
home.
The death toll of the murderous rampage that shocked the nation was
28. In the ensuing days memorials were held all over the country. People wept
and wondered how someone could be so calloused as to murder children in cold
blood.
Amid all the discussions, one question is repeatedly posed:
"Why?" Pundits, psychologists and politicians all have suggested possible
reasons or motives for why Adam Lanza, the shooter, went on his deadly rampage.
But the truth is that no one really knows what motivated Lanza to perpetrate his
crime; it was probably a combination of factors. One of which is that sin, the
selfish, self-centered reality that stains human DNA, was part of his makeup.
