Update: Virtually Nothing In The Original Reports About the Killer Was Correct

I am so lost with the corrections that I don't even want to mention the current information, which is probably also wrong, but: They now say the killer was not 24 year old Ryan Lanza, who was arrested, but may be innocent of everything; now they say the killer was his 20 year old younger brother Adam.

I suppose, then, Ryan was either an accomplice (which I figure is much less likely) or an intended target of his brother.

"Beach," citing a forensic psychologist he heard on Sun News, called the killer a "family annihilator" -- unfortunately, this is so common it has a well-known shorthand. The Family Annihilator, I guess, is such a vicious malignant narcissist, so hateful of himself (and yet also so egotistical) that his idea of suicide is to attempt to erase any trace of himself, by killing everyone related to him by blood or affection. We see despondent husbands do this a fair amount, killing wife, children and self; we see women do it too.

Or maybe this is as close to Vengeance Against God for having even been born as these lunatics can get-- by murdering anyone who is somehow related to his existence, the killer gets payback for his own misbegotten birth?

Unfortunately, the death toll reports are generally accurate.
