The gunman who killed 26 people, 20 of them children, in Newtown, Conn., was 24-year-old Ryan Lanza and he targeted his mother, a kindergarten teacher who was among the dead, sources told NBC News on Friday.
A second family member was found shot to death at that person's home in Newtown.
Police also were interviewing a brother to find out what he knew, sources told WNBC.
Records show a Ryan Lanza living in Hoboken, N.J., at a home that police searched shortly after Friday morning's attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
He lived near the school between 2006 and 2011, those records also show.
