NEWTOWN, Conn. – A shooter at a Connecticut elementary school that left 27 people dead, including 18 children, was identified as 20-year-old Ryan Lanza.
A law enforcement official in Washington said the Lanza, who was killed at the scene, had apparent ties to the school and that one of the guns was a .223-caliber rifle. The official also said that police were searching a location in New Jersey in connection with the shootings. Authorities say before the shooting he may have killed his own mother.
The killings happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, about 60 miles northeast of New York City. The town is more than 90 percent white and five percent Latino, according to the U.S. Census.

What Is Going on With Ryan Lanza on Facebook?

These images were found on the Facebook profile of one Ryan Lanza from Newton, Connecticut, currently living in Hoboken, New Jersey (where a crime scene is being investigated in connection to the shooting). All the pieces fit, right?
But then there's this:

Well. Some questions/observations:
1. Are there two Ryan Lanzas from Newton? What are the chances? And if there are two Ryan Lanzas connected to Newton, well, our sincere apologies because what the fuck.
2. If this is the Facebook page of alleged shooter Ryan Lanza, who's posting to it?
3. What if — and this is a looong shot — the shooter isn't actually named Ryan Lanza? (Unlikely given confirmation from federal officials.)
4. This is a classic example of the media confusion and clusterfuck that inevitably ensues when faced with truly horrific news (we're as guilty as the next). Everyone's desperate for answers, but the first answer isn't always the right answer.
More as we know it.

Possible second CT school shooter in camo reported in the woods, suspect reported dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, suspect's mother worked at the school, also dead. CNN is broadcasting a pic of someone else with same name. Just the usual anomalies I suppose. Another coincidence: Joe Lieberman, also of CT, gave his farewell address to the US senate on Wednesday, and today, on the same afternoon as the CT shooting, Avi Lieberman announced his forced resignation:Hard-Line Israeli Foreign Minister Is Stepping Down | By JODI RUDOREN | Published: December 14, 2012

Apparently the PA system was on the entire time so students could hear the shots and screaming. New twist.
hava? Any thoughts on this?
