Connecticut's chief medical examiner says he's seeking genetic
clues to help explain why a shooter killed 20 children and six
adults in a Newtown elementary school.  Dr. H. Wayne Carver
tells The Hartford Courant ( that he wants to know if there is
any identifiable disease associated with the behavior of the
shooter, Adam Lanza. He is working with the University of
Connecticut department of genetics.  Paula Levy, a mediator who
worked with Lanza's parents during their divorce, has said Lanza
was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, an autism-like disorder.
Carver is awaiting toxicology testing results for Lanza and
other information.    Information from: The Hartford Courant,
