US school shooter's father lays body of his son to rest

A family spokesman told AFP that Peter Lanza, a tax executive at General Electric, “claimed Adam Lanza's body on Thursday and there were private arrangements that took place over the weekend.”

The spokesman would not say what kind of ceremony was held, saying “the family wants folks to respect their privacy and isn't going to elaborate on the specifics.”

Adam Lanza, 20, shot himself at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14 as police closed in after he had gunned down 20 small children and six staff members. Immediately before the spree, he had shot dead his mother at her house in Newtown, a small town in Connecticut.

His body remained in the Connecticut medical examiner's office until its release last week, the family spokesman said.

The mother, Nancy Lanza, was buried in a private ceremony in New Hampshire. She was divorced from Peter Lanza and had been raising her bright but deeply disturbed son on her own.
