Nicholas Prosper shot his mother Juliana Falcon, 48, sister Giselle, 13, and shot and stabbed his brother Kyle, 16, at their home in Luton on 13 September last year.
Luton Crown Court heard yesterday that he also planned to kill 30 children at his former primary school.
He had plotted to kill the youngest at the school during assembly, and had previously taken pictures of staff and pupils, but was arrested before he could make his way there.
His “main wish”, according to the prosecution, was notoriety, telling a prison nurse “I wish I had killed more”, and he wanted to cause “the biggest massacre in the 21st century”.
Prosper admitted the murders last month, as well as:
• buying a shotgun without a certificate;
• possession of a shotgun with intent to endanger life;
• and possession of a kitchen knife in a public place.
He was sentenced at the same court on Wednesday by Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb.
