Horrific Newtown, CT school shooting

[Danzig]

A teacher's son clad in black and carrying two handguns rampaged through a Connecticut elementary school Friday, killing 18 small children and seven adults, including his mother, in the nation’s second-worst school massacre, law enforcement officials said.


The gunman, identified as Ryan Lanza, 24, was also found dead at the scene, a federal law enforcement official said. Lanza's mother is a kindergarten teacher at the Newtown school, and it's inside that classroom where most of the casualties took place, according to WNBC's Jonathan Dienst.

Talk about a HUGE mistake

4:41 p.m.: Federal law enforcement sources now say Connecticut school shooting gunman was Adam Lanza, 20, and not his brother Ryan Lanza, 24, as earlier reported. Adam was found dead in the school along with his mother, a kindergarten teacher there.

The guy lost his mother, father and brother and had his facebook page circulated throught the media and identified as the killer.

More confusion. Listening to CNN a minute ago. They said Mom not in the school. Found her body in her home in town, Brother taken into custody. Might be just to see what he knows?

I wish these networks would wait to get the facts right when we have these type of tragedies. What's the big hurry?
