The reporting was also way off just to be the first to report what they thought were facts.
There is no reason at all to interview a single child

Good, at least some people in the media have more integrity than that. I mean damn, these kids just witnessed something that could traumatize them for the rest of their lives and a reporter's first thought is to put a mic in their face? How do they sleep at night?

I'm at a loss for words right now. I just have a hard time understanding what could cultivate someone, even someone disabled, to do something as horrible as this.

The fact that he killed a huge majority of his own family tells you something went wrong mentally or he had some serious hate within him.

According to the reports, his brother being questioned said he hadn't talked to his brother in years. That says to me that something is wrong with that family structure that they don't even communicate.

The official says Ryan Lanza's computers and phone records were being searched but only "in an abundance of caution." He says Ryan told authorities he had not been in touch with his brother in recent years.
Where they abused? Did he just snap? Did he have mental problems all along and it was just passed off as "different or unique"? It really is hard to tell, but you would have to have some incredible hate in your heart to kill your own family.

Something's kinda weird about a kindergarten teacher owning an assault weapon. Rest her soul but still, if you have a son with an emotional disturbance and you're keeping weapons in the house? That seems like a pressure cooker. Then again, I'm not sure if the son was even still living with the mother. It'll be interesting to have all these kinda of questions cleared up in the coming days.
