Edit 2: Okay now the news on TV here just said Adam Lanza and that they mistakenly were naming his brother first.
Another case when the reporters didn't double-check their shit together before announcing their BREAKING NEWS.

That event was the first thing I've heard after waking up. Weird mood today for me.

you have to understand that reporters' BREAKING NEWS is usually a developing story, brought live. they regurgitate exactly what they hear from multiple sources as the story develops to minimize downtime, then they correct their mistakes

is that too hard to understand?

They plastered the wrong name and face all over the news that's not something that should be happening.

I'm not sure if this was you being serious or not but I don't think it's very funny to joke about this. Have a heart man, c'mon.

Actually, no, it's not. I actually took a semester of radio broadcasting, and you have to specially type up what you're going to read on-air. All caps, double-spaced, phonetic spelling. When you just have stuff shoved at you, combined with one of the top five rules of broadcast media being to leave as little dead air as possible, you get mistakes that have to be corrected later and incidentally fill more airtime that could have otherwise been silent.

Anyone recall the police chase turned snuff film a few months ago? Even with the five-second delay, the actual moment of death was still broadcast. Mistakes can and do happen, and not just when people think they've gone to commercial. Give 'em a break, this is tough stuff.

Thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families, though.

Well, a good journalist have to avoid mistakes at all cost, they should be reporting facts to the audience, they have to make sure what they're saying is accurate. If not, I'm better reading my news on Wikipedia.
I was a little bit fast on my first comment. After posting it, I heard that it was the police that wrongly identify the gunman. Makes me wonder how those small mistakes can turn lives upside down.

Rather than putting the killer under the spotlight and directing every semblance of anger towards him, we need to look at the root causes that led to his actions (for instance, the fact purchasing a gun is more accessible and relatively inexpensive in comparison to seeking assistance and treatment for mental health issues) and direct our anger towards that instead.

(ps not saying that you're guilty of this though, just that your post made me think of it)
What I really want to know is why the hell he was let into the school in the first place. They say that the doors are locked during the day. Now they're trying to say that oh it's because his mother worked there, but wouldn't they question her 20 year old son trying to access the school while she was teaching class? They also said he was masked, so something isn't right there.

it was just too soon blindreper and in the wrong kind of thread. don't be too embarrassed because you are readily available to lighten up something that is extremely serious. I see where you're coming from. just too soon man

This is terrible. ):
Thoughts go out to the parents who lost their kids and the children who will be scarred for life because of this.

The shooter's mother was a teacher at the school. Depending on well the staff knew this guy, he easily could have walked in wearing a backpack filled with his gear.

also psychoangel, he could have easily lied and said it was something important. you need to assess the situation a little more before reacting so blindly. no offense i'm just saying.

He managed to walk in with 4 guns (that's what's being reported now) That seems a bit unlikely to me. I also don't think with the way security is in most schools that they'd let an adult walk in that wasn't a parent to a student with a backpack or something. Also schools generally call down to the teacher before allowing anyone to head towards classrooms. Don't assume that I reacted blindly. I have my reasons for thinking that it's suspicious regardless of his mother being a teacher at the school.

How the dude got his hands on that gun to begin with would be a better question.
