Initially it was reported Adam Lanza killed his mother in her classroom at the elementary school, now it turns out she wan’t a teacher or even connected to the school. He killed her at their house, then drove to the school and killed 20 children. Mind blowing.

A former school board official in Newtown called into question earlier reports that Nancy Lanza had been connected to Sandy Hook Elementary School, possibly as part of the teaching staff.

“No one has heard of her,” said Lillian Bittman, who served on the local school board until 2011. “Teachers don’t know her.”
