Did adam ever say anything to people before he shot/killed them

Did Adam ever make comments to the people he killed before or after he shot them? Kind of like what e & d did to their victims

Yes
But very short one liners
“Well youre here”
“I know your in there”
And a lot of times he said 1 or 2 words

Was he yelling them or just saying it in a calm manner?

This text is from Rampage Nation: Securing America From Mass Shootings by Louis Klarevas Page number is 24.

"I don't want to be here!" called out one child. 12
"Well, you're here!" Lanza retorted
"Help Me!" pleaded another.
"Shut the fuck up!" Lanza yelled back, before continuing his onslaught.

Didn't he also shout "look at them!" at someone or has that ever been confirmed to be true?

I forgot to add that quote.

Same book same page.

He was livid, perhaps from the teacher's attempt to hide the children. Calling her an "asshole," he demanded that she examine the carnage. "Come over here! Look at them!" Petrified by fear, she couldn't move. Lanza inserted a new magazine and shouted "Look at me!" just prior to unleashing his fury on her. She was killed instantly.

There are some witness statements that I posted in another thread.

The children who escaped seemed to agree that he was not speaking before opening fire or while he was shooting so I think it's possible that he did not start shouting until after some of the children ran out of the room. Maybe he was angry about his potential victims escaping and was trying to regain control of the situation or maybe the children who escaped were too traumatized to remember but there are four or five specific statements in there saying that he said nothing at all.

Here are the two excerpts that I've found which give specifics on what he said during the shooting. Neither of these witnesses were actually in the rooms where Adam was shooting, as far as I can tell, so it does make sense to believe that the shouting did not begin until sometime after the children escaped. One of the statements that was mentioned above is located in the first excerpt and it says that an "angry man" was shouting at a screaming child.

Is it possible that Adam was talking to Ms.Soto in this exchange? I always thought she was killed almost instantly when Adam entered Room 10.

Also imagining Adam shout is quite difficult to imagine compared to his voice on the radio call (I know Adam on the radio call wasn't using his 100% natural voice but it's the closest we got).

I've heard conflicting reports that he said nothing* and that he said nothing.

*EDIT: Fuck I meant to write something. Sometimes I want to chop off my hand.

tbh, it wouldn't be uncharacteristic of Adam not to talk during his massacre, he wasn't a talkative person to begin with. He could've been alot like Cho in his shooting who was reported to have sent absolutely nothing during his rampage.

Also from what I remember from the audio of the 911 calls that were made during and around the vicinity of the actual shooting, only the gunshots are somewhat audible and there seemed to be no shouting but then again the more explicated content if there were (sounds of screaming and shouting within the classrooms) couldve been withheld from the public but from what is heard on Rick Thorne's and the person in Room 9's 911 call, there doesn't seem to be any.

Such a quiet and reserved person im sure that he probably just let himself go in the end and screamed
Not many people too tell the story though

He also said to a boy "well, you're here" after he cried and said "I don't want to be here".

Found this as well. This news article has been attributed as the source, other surviving articles recalling this same information are still up but I have yet to find it in the police reports. As for the silence and the yelling not being compatible, I think there is little enough dialogue compared to how long the shooting actually lasted for both to have occurred.

The only real line he seemed to say was

"Well, you're here."

Apart from that, he seemed to have quite the potty-mouth, and witnesses of the massacre described him as "angry."

I've always been very intrigued by this line. According to the article "The voices of children who saw evil" in the publication "newstimes" the student who heard this was hiding in the bathroom. I kind of doubt that if you were hiding in a bathroom that you'd hear something from a neighboring classroom. According to some research I did, there were dedicated bathrooms connected to the hallways and also some bathrooms that were inside classrooms. So, I wonder which bathroom this was heard in. Maybe I'm just being really pedantic and autistic about this lol.
