So this officer just said there's another crime scene in newtown. Maybe he said that wrong?

Also he just said it happened in one area and two rooms.

I think it was reported the shooter's mom lived in Newtown and father lived in Jersey.

RT @TheRealTheTorg: CBS News: Two bodies found in Ryan Lanza's mothers home. Father not at his home. Bodies could be his girlfriend and ...

I wonder if that was really Ryan Lanza with the comment "people spamming me because someone killed a bunch of people". Imagine finding out it was his brother.

And, if true, the police are going to want to talk to him about some of those twitter/fb comments. What can you do to the guy - he already looks screwed up, almost certainly is, and now to deal with his parents dead and his brother doing this?

Yea but he said there's a secondary scene IN newtown. But the news outlets are at his home in Hoboken, and talked about possible deaths there. So did he mean to say Hoboken?

I dunno, that guy didn't have all of the answers so he might not be fully aware of there being an additional scene in Hoboken. There is a lot of confusing info, but CBS just said the secondary scene is believed to be his mother's home in Newtown and there is a possibility of another at his father's home. Who knows what's right at this point.

They haven't talked about it at all. And the officer didnt mention having anyone in custody.

Just gonna throw this out but 90% of what the media reported about Columbine at the time was incorrect. I read the book and it points out just how bad the media is at reporting stories like this.

We hear of this unspeakable tragedy, and then we hear about the dude in China who went into a school and stabbed 22 children. Unbelievable.

Watching the news here in NYC ... Hoboken police is saying they think it was the brother Adam, but admit the info has been "confusing." They also took the roomates who whoever lived in Hoboken into custody and the streets are shut down, but they don't assume they had anything to do with this.

In china, if your child is killed or dies, can you then have another child?

At least 27 people killed, 18 children among them, at an elementary school in Newtown, CT. Shooter is dead. Reports of at least two other related shootings (one in Hoboken, NJ, one in Newtown, CT). Shooter first reported to be Ryan Lanza, but now they're saying it could have been his brother (Adam).

Still a lot of hazy facts surrounding the case.

in other words, no one has a fucking clue. Hate the way the media goes crazy when these type of things happen. You know the networks love it, playing the story all day long over and over, ratings will be huge. It just gives more attention to these wackos, which is what they want. They know they will die doing it, but their names will live on because the media can't help itself.
