DANBURY, CT -- Authorities have confirmed that a video recorded in a movie theater lobby does in fact show Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza playing Dance Dance Revolution.

The video, which was uploaded to YouTube shortly after the Dec. 14, 2012, tragedy that left 26 people dead at the Newtown, CT, school, shows the 20-year-old killer practicing his dance moves alone in the AMC Loews in Danbury, CT.

According to the GPS tracker Lanza was given by his mother, along with eyewitness accounts, the troubled youth played the game from four to 10 hours a day on weekends. As authorities noted, Lanza's preoccupation with videogames also extended to home consoles. A cache of such violent titles as Call of Duty, Halo, Left 4 Dead and Grand Theft Auto were found in the home he shared with his mother.

As authorities confirmed that video of the killer playing the game is real, a Connecticut judge is poised to decide whether a lawsuit against the gun company that made the rifle he used at the school massacre can proceed. On Monday, Judge Barbara Bellis in Bridgeport, CT, heard arguments and will rule within the next two months on whether the lawsuit should go forward to trial or be dismissed. The suit has been filed despite a federal law that shields the gun industry from legal claims.

Lanza murdered his 26 victims with a Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle, a model of the AR-15, firing 154 bullets in 264 seconds.
