Why was she not at school? This took place around 9:30. Wonder if he made her call in sick or something? If a teacher just didn't show up for that long people would wonder what was going on.karen lotz;1342925 wrote:He killed his mother, who was a teacher at the school.

That'll be a interesting question and answer.

I think its about an hour, Hoboken is just on the other side of the Hudson from Manhattan, and Connecticut isn't a far drive.gut;1342944 wrote:Pyschologists are going to have a field day with this one. I don't know how long of a drive that is, but that sort of separation would seem very unique and just beyond comprehension.

if he shot her before going to school, she wouldn't need to call in sick. I'd guess they would think something was going on, but her being shot by her son who is on the way to her school is probably not really high on the list of possibilities. They probably just tried to call her, got a sub to fill in until they got a hold of her, and carried on with the day.

CBS is reporting there was a body in a home connected with another person they have in custody. Obviously still a lot of rumors and speculation as of now.

I htought the initial body was a gf/wife not the mom. I never heard anything but the mom being dead at the school. Not sure which station reported that.

Sucks to be that guy if it's true. His profile pic has over 10,000 shares, with pretty much the expected responses.karen lotz;1342957 wrote:and now apparently the guy whose facebook account was shared is posting that it wasn't him and he's on the bus home from work.

That's an understatement. Imagine learning of this horrible tragedy, and as you keep reading you see that you've been identified as the gunman!gorocks99;1342959 wrote:Sucks to be that guy if it's true. His profile pic has over 10,000 shares, with pretty much the expected responses.

That'd be one hell of a coincidence to have two Ryan Lanza's that both are from one town and now live in another town.

They probably just did what everyone else did - heard the name, went on Facebook, pulled the first pic they could find. If the initial ID of the shooter was wrong, they (the media) done fucked up this guy's life like whoa.Midstate01;1342965 wrote:What? Really?? I saw that same pic on foxnews just a second ago.

If you scroll down the timeline, there's the number of shares underneath the profile pic update. 12,369 at this time. When you click on that, you see the comments when people shared the photo.derek bomar;1342969 wrote:how do you see the # of shares and comments?

CBS says police found 2 hand guns with the shooter and the .223 rifle was in his car at the school.

There is a Ryan Lanza on Twitter with a very depressing line of tweets
