It really is New Town. Not Newton. When we heard Newton my husband and both looked at each other and said "huh"? We have lived in CT all of our lives so that one was weird.

Some things were not reported correctly because of the outright confusion and shock, it was understandable. But some stuff, like Nancy Lanza being a full time teacher at the school is still being reported tonight.
