‘My killer son couldn’t get any more evil’

In his first public comments about the 2012 Connecticut school massacre, the father of gunman Adam Lanza said what his son did couldn’t “get any more evil” and he now wishes his son had never been born.

Peter Lanza also told The New Yorker magazine in a series of interviews that he believes Adam would have killed him, too, if he had the chance. And he often contemplates what he could have done differently in his relationship with Adam, although he believes the killings couldn’t have been predicted.

“Any variation on what I did and how my relationship was had to be good, because no outcome could be worse,” Peter Lanza told the magazine. “You can’t get any more evil. ... How much do I beat up on myself about the fact that he’s my son? A lot.”
