WASHINGTON — The suspect in the Connecticut school shootings is 24-year-old Ryan Lanza, and his younger brother is being held for questioning as a possible second shooter, a law enforcement official said Friday. The law enforcement official says the boys' mother, Nancy Lanza, worked at the school as a teacher and is presumed dead...

Just caught up from picking up DS, locked him in the house and poured an adult beverage. Five year olds, FGS, FIVE YEAR OLDS :.....

My kids are grown and I am not around many kids these days. Seeing the pictures...I'd forgotten how little they are...so tiny.

No positive identification yet on all deceased.

Another briefing in an hour.

 

[Quester]

next briefing in 60 min

 

[bellyup]

They are saying they haven't established positive ID on anyone involved.
I wonder if the brothers intentionally planned to "pass the buck" on who they are?

They said they'll be back in 60 minutes with a presser .... hopefully more details.

I think that was a hoax.

I think so too because I copied the entire facebook page and it is now been taken down. (By LE I assume) and if the one whom I found for the brother is correct, the cover photo is haunting.

If in fact the page was his and not some guy with the same name. (I did see it confirmed in MSM as his page, but we know how that goes. By the time it was confirmed, I had copied it and within a minute or so of me seeing that report it was removed. So.... you know how these early reports go.......)

Obama's address.....http://www.cnn.com/

Not sure who schpicture is.

Fox has reported that Ryan's younger brother Adam is the shooter. 20 children are now confirmed dead (18 @ the school and 2 who were transported to hospital). 6 adults were killed. Shootings took place in 1 section of the school in 2 different rooms. (Office and the Kindergarten class perhaps?)

No answer if the shooter took his own life. 27 (includes the shooter) confirmed deceased and 1 confirmed injured. The children were all in the same section of the building. They have not said how the shooter has died. There is deceased adult at a secondary crime scene. They are beginning the time consuming process of identifying the victims.

Another briefing will be in 60 minutes. 28 total deceased (includes the adult @ 2nd crime scene). LE has been meeting with all of the family members. They have asked media to respect their privacy.

 

[Hopeful One]

Very tragic scene for family members and first responders. Police ask media to respect everyone's privacy.

(yeah good luck with that. It's the media after all)

 

[darlingnikkiaz]

I think someone posted Moms name was Nancy...Not sure about dad

Believe the dads name is Peter

 

[Zoe Bogart]

18 children dead at the scene, 2 children sent to hospital but expired.

6 adults dead in school

plus the shooter in school dead

another person dead at a second crime scene

took place in two rooms

how sad, how horrible

how evil

Ryan L may be the brother, Adam L may be the actual shooter per ABC news
