Malloy: "Earlier today, a tragedy of unspeakable terms played itself out."

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:37:12 PM
So to update what we've heard so far:

Ryan Lanza killed his brother (not his father, as reported earlier) in Hoboken; his girlfriend and another friend are missing. He drove to Newtown, Conn., where he killed a relative at a home and then went to Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he fired shots in the school office, then went to his mother's kindergarten classroom where he killed her and all her students. He then killed himself.

RT @DylanByers: RT @viewofadam: Fox News reporting Ryan Lanza was NOT the shooter, but his brother Adam was and is dead; Ryan taken into custody.

"Earlier today a number of our beautiful children are dead," Malloy said. pbs.twimg.com/media/A-Gl4_4CAAA1Dx5.jpg

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:39:27 PM
Malloy did mention that the shooting suspect and "an individual he lived with" are dead. Vance is about to speak.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:40:00 PM
Lt. Vance now speaking to reporters again.

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 8:40:06 PM
"There's a lot of things we cannot confirm or discuss as of yet."

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 8:40:34 PM
Vance: 18 children dead at the school. Two more taken to area hospitals, where they were pronounced dead.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:41:30 PM
"It is not a simplistic scene as you certainly understand. ... we are not even putting a timestamp on this as to when we will complete this project."

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 8:42:42 PM
"There is a secondary crime scene here in Newtown," he said. Confirms another adult fatality.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:43:01 PM
Wouldn't specify whether is was the suspect's mother, as has been reported.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:43:41 PM
"The shootings did take place in one section of the school in two rooms ... our personnel our documenting the entire scene."

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 8:43:51 PM
Vance: One person was injured.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:44:06 PM
"Right now there is one shooter, but we're looking at every ancillary fact related to the scene."

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 8:44:12 PM
RT @NHRswift: Press is set up on Yogananda St where we hear another body was found #newtownshooting pbs.twimg.com/media/A-Gm7tfCEAAgl-j.jpg

Al of the victims were in the "same section" of the school.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:44:37 PM
"The medical examiner's office will certainly help us in answering many of those questions, including the manner of death of the deceased."

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 8:44:40 PM
Why'd he target that particular school, reporter asks. TBD, Vance responds.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:45:20 PM
Won't elaborate on the ages of the child victims. School's K-4.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:46:07 PM
"We'll be back in 60 minutes ... I'll see if I can get some more answers so I can provide you with information."

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 8:46:30 PM
"We've been asked by the family members to respect their privacy and to please leave them alone at this time."

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 8:47:22 PM
In all, Vance says that 20 children were killed in this morning's shooting. 7 adults.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:48:00 PM
Another key bit: Vance says that police did NOT fire any shots after they entered the school.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:49:06 PM
However, the shooting suspect is dead.

by Libor Jany via twitter 12/14/2012 8:49:27 PM
Fox News and the New York Post are now reporting that the shooter, who is dead, is Adam Lanza, 20, while his brother Ryan, 24, is being held for questioning. Usually stories become clearer as time goes on, but this one just seems to get more convoluted.

RT @NiceIcePrincess: @ljanyNT Mother confirmed; did guy in cuff's look young? 20ish? #RyanLanza FB page down now.

RT @JesseRodriguez: NBC's Pete Williams saying the name of the suspect and the name of the suspect's brother may have been transposed in reporting

A man and woman leave the staging area for family around near the scene of a shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., about 60 miles northeast of New York City, Friday. An official with knowledge of Friday's shooting said 27 people were dead, including 18 children. (AP/Jessica Hill)

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 9:03:42 PM
The parents of the shooter and his brother appear to have gotten divorced in 2009, if this document is correct: civilinquiry.jud.ct.gov

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 9:05:02 PM
WNBC: Two roommates of Ryan Lanza have been detained and are being questioned, but there's no indication that they had any knowledge of the events in Newtown.

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 9:06:34 PM
Also the AP now agrees with Fox News and the New York Post that the shooter was Adam Lanza, 20, and that his older brother Ryan, 24, was arrested and is being held.

by Chris Hopkins 12/14/2012 9:08:18 PM
Westport Patch: Police have raided a home in the Sandy Hook part of Newtown, a show of investigative force that comes just hours after a gunman shot students and staff at Sandy Hook Elementary today, killing as many as 27.

There were at least 15 police cars at 36 Yogananda St. as of 2:13 p.m. There are multiple armed police officers there, including one with a rifle at his side.
