Video Game Facebook Page Attacked over School Shooting
Misguided blame in so many ways
Facebook users attacked the official Page for the video game "Mass Effect" after media misidentified a Facebook user as a suspect in Friday's shooting that left 26 people dead at a Connecticut elementary school who listed the game in his interests.
Facebook user Ryan Lanza, 24, has said he is not the person accused at the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shootings, after several media outlets uncovered his Facebook page when police announced his name earlier Friday. According to recent reports, Ryan is the younger brother of the actual suspect, 20-year-old Adam Lanza.

Ryan, 24, is the younger brother of Adam, 20?

This is a national tragedy. You are not to try to make sense of the reporting.
No fact is more proven than in the "news" the impossible is always possible.
