Did massacre gunman make internet threat the day before Sandy Hook massacre? (DM)

It's from Daily Mail, but they have a screen cap of the chat transcript, so I thought I'd post this:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2248869/Adam-Lanza-Did-massacre-gunman-make-internet-threat-day-Sandy-Hook-massacre.html

The screencap at the link has a pixellated graphic of the Columbine shooters (dead) attached, so I don't want to post it here. But the chat capture basically says that he is going to kill himself, watch for the news, and that he's from Connecticut - with the attached photo.

EDIT:

It appears it WAS posted at 4chan and has since been removed.
If you use google and search for iKTatjYX
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=iKTatjYX&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
The search results show a 4chan page labeled 8293098 - /pol/ - Politically Incorrect
If you click it goes to a 404 page - but if you mouse over the arrows on the right of the listing above - it pops up the cached screencap of the unpixelated image

Same times and exact text...just pixeled out the gunshot wounds?

I haven't slept yet, so I might be missing something...but it looks the same me - just missing the side graphic?

and the picture in the first thread was blacked out and the second pic was zoomed in

still, chances are faked, but again it's not impossible

I wouldn't be surprised to find that he had posted online in some form, if this IS fake.
