(578 posts)My stepsister is FB friends with a Ryan Lanza she went to college with - his hometown is Newtown and he lives in NJ, and he just posted updates that he is not the shooter. But because people are too impatient to wait for all the information to come out he could very well get death threats.

(617 posts)But he doesn't look the type - perhaps the type to drink a Pabst Blue Ribbon and hang out at coffee shops, but not this. Sorry, trying to laugh when I can.

(20,277 posts)Federal officials want everybody to stop with the name thing. Confusion as to which brother was the shooter and which is in custody in NJ.
They have been reporting the 'Ryan' name all day.

(67,818 posts)They are now saying the shooter may NOT have been the man originally named. It seems the shooter was not the person named in the ID he was carrying.
They are now speculating it was his brother. <---- note the word speculating
