At approximately 9:41 a.m. a gunman opened fire inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Earlier reports indicated one child and the gunman were killed, but later the horror of what actually took place started to come to the surface, that in fact scores of children were among the dead, as was the gunman’s mother, Nancy Lanza, whose body was found in her home in Newtown.
CBS News has confirmed that sources have identified the gunman as 20-year-old Adam Lanza. He was found dead inside the building from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, sources told CBS 2.
The gunman was initially identified as 24-year-old Ryan Lanza, Adam’s older brother. Ryan Lanza, of Hoboken, N.J., was questioned by police on Friday evening, but officials said he was not believed to have had any involvement in the rampage.
