NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - Investigators say school shooter Adam Lanza visited an area shooting range but have not concluded whether he actually practiced shooting there.

Ginger Colbrun, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, would not identify the shooting range in question or say how recently he was there.

She says investigators have concluded that Lanza's mother, Nancy, visited shooting ranges several times.

Colbrun says it's still not clear whether Nancy Lanza brought her son to the range or whether he ever fired a weapon there.

Authorities say Lanza shot his mother in the head four times, then drove to an elementary school with enough ammunition to kill every student. He killed 26 people, then shot himself as police arrived.

Just as an experiment let's have all of us responsible gun owners move into one region of the country all with high capacity handguns and assault rifles, and within one year that region will have the lowest crime rate not just in the U.S., but the entire world! We won't have gang violence they'll all move to where people don't have guns. Prisons won't need those either. We'll handle our own business. Mental hospitals are where the mentally ill belong, not on the street!
