Police are investigating reports that 20-year-old Adam Lanza was involved in an "altercation" at the school less than 24 hours before the massacre, described as the worst mass school killing in US history.
Lanza, said to be a loner who may have suffered from a personality disorder, is thought to have argued with four teachers at the school, three of whom died in the shooting. The fourth, who was not on duty, is now being spoken to by investigators.
