Connecticut's Office of the Child Advocate is seeking school records from the gunman responsible for the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on Dec. 14, according to a report published this week from the Associated Press.
The organization's Child Review Panel is requesting the records as part of its regular investigation of unexpected child fatalities. The group has already obtained some of the shooter's school and hospital records, but is seeking more information to complete what an advocate calls a "5,000 piece puzzle."
Last week, Attorney General George Jepsen requested the documents from a Superior Court judge on behalf of the panel. The Associated Press story describes the records that have emerged as "a portrait of a highly isolated young man with disruptions in his education."
Earlier this month, Gov. Dannel Malloy told reporters he expects a full report on the shooting to be released some time this fall.
