A screenshot of Ryan Lanza's Facebook profile. Ryan was originally
identified as the suspected gunman in Friday's school shooting, but
officials now say the shooter was his younger brother Adam.
Earlier this afternoon, in the rush to identify the perpetrator of the Newtown school shooting, bunches of Twitter users (including the Slate Twitter account) rushed to link to the Facebook profile of someone named Ryan Lanza. At that time, someone by that name had been identified as the shooter by many, many media outlets. Could this be the same person?
Almost immediately, the Facebook Ryan Lanza’s friends began posting screenshots of his account. "Fuck you CNN it wasn’t me," this Lanza wrote on Facebook. He also posted: "I’m on the bus home now it wasn’t me" and "IT WASN’T ME I WAS AT WORK IT WASN’T ME."
Now, hours later, the New York Post, the AP, and others are reporting that the shooter’s name is Adam Lanza,
not Ryan Lanza. And it appears that the Ryan Lanza Facebook account
that was passed around immediately after the Newtown shooting belongs to
the suspect’s brother.
According to public records searches, Ryan and Adam Lanza have both
lived at 36 Yogananda St. in Newtown. A Nancy Lanza is also listed at
that address. News reports indicate that Nancy is the mother of Ryan and
Adam, that she worked at Sandy Hook Elementary as a teacher, and that
she is presumed dead. The Hartford Courant is reporting that,
in addition to the 26 victims found at Sandy Hook Elementary School,
"another person was found dead at 36 Yogananda St. in Newtown." The Courant does
not identify the person found dead at that address, but CBS News and
CNN are now reporting that Lanza's mother was found dead in her home.
Public records searches also show that the same Ryan Lanza who lived
in Newtown has recently shared an address in Hoboken, N.J., with people
named Jessica O’Brien and Michael Shapiro. The circulated screenshots of
Ryan Lanza’s Facebook account show responses from a Jessica O’Brien and
a Michael Shapiro. In response to Lanza posting "Everyone shut the fuck
up it wasn’t me," O’Brien wrote: "Do you need anything ready for when
you get home? Can I set anything out for you to grab and go? Anything
else I can do L". In response to Lanza writing "Fuck you CNN it wasn’t
me," Shapiro wrote "this is batshit insane" and "how the fuck do they
jump to such a conclusion with zero evidence."
This post, originally published at 5:22 p.m., was updated at 5:42
p.m. to include the reports that Lanza's mother was found dead in her
home.
