As reported earlier……

We’ve heard all day that the mother of shooter Adam Lanza was a substitute teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School. But it may not be true.

Josh Marshall at TPM reported:

There have been a lot of factual errors in the chaotic rush to get details about today�??s shooting in Connecticut. But one fact that seemed established across the board was that victim Nancy Lanza, the mother of alleged shooter Adam Lanza, was a teacher at the Sandy Hook Elementary School �?? specifically that it was her class that Adam Lanza massacred. But this story just out in the Journal suggests that�??s not true. Oddly, it�??s buried down at the bottom of the story, almost as an afterthought �?� 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.�?� It�??s mentioned so offhandedly. And this apparent fact was so widely reported that I�??m still wondering if I�??m misreading these two grafs.
