Weird, I posted this before but it's gone.....
Anyhoo, I am baffled too by the conflicting reports but I swear I remember reading about the kids being killed by a .223 rifle pretty early on.
Did that change? The path reports seemed pretty concrete. But a lot of things in this case are like freshly poured concrete.
I think I have missed a lot, but is this really being questioned? I remember the pathology reports stating all the decedents were shot with the .223 rifle. And without exception, numerous times. Some as many as eleven times.
Oh, Reannan, I fear the pathologist's report is true.
I too, wonder why there seems to be so much conflicting info.
There were some early articles that were wrong but people keep bringing them up. It's not in dispute that victims were shot with a Bushmaster rifle.

Nothing changed. Some early articles were wrong, but since then it's clear the victims were shot with a Bushmaster.

Meet renamed for Newtown victim
USA Wrestling is renaming an international dual meet in honor of a boy who was killed in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., last month.
The former Kiki Cup, a Greco-Roman wrestling meet set to be held in Colorado Springs, Colo., will be renamed the Jack Pinto Cup in time for this year's meet set for Jan. 26.
The Pinto family gave USA Wrestling permission to rename the event. They say in a statement that they've been "overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the wrestling community."

Hokies honor Newtown victims
To remember those killed in both tragedies, the Hokies' helmets will feature a large orange-and-green ribbon, the word "Prevail" and the number 58 for the total number of victims.
"It's just one of those things that we've been through what those people up in Sandy Hook are going through," Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said Monday, according to the Orlando Sentinel. "We prevailed in Blacksburg. I think if anything, it brought us closer and more determined, and the same thing is going to happen there. The way the community is coming together. It's a terrible thing to happen."
"We've got to prevail," Beamer said. "We can't let one person define Blacksburg or Virginia Tech, and we can't let (one) person define (Newtown)."

Giants welcome fans from Newtown
About 400 residents of Newtown, Conn., attended the New York Giants-Philadelphia Eagles game Sunday. Among them were a few families who lost children in the massacre this month, the Giants said. One was the family of Jack Pinto, the 6-year-old boy buried in a No. 80 jersey of Giants receiver Victor Cruz.

Big East honors Sandy Hook
The media swarm has left Newtown, Conn.
The national attention has shifted to the fiscal cliff.
The politics from the Newtown tragedy will likely return when the new Congress debates an assault weapons ban sometime this winter.
But college basketball has an opportunity to continue to honor the memory of the 20 children and six adults tragically killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the tranquil Connecticut town on Dec. 14.
UConn has done a wonderful job of honoring the victims and their families with a Sandy Hook patch on the men's and women's uniforms, a scholarship fund for siblings of the victims and other graduates of the elementary school that is up to $500,000 as of Saturday and a basketball clinic last week by the men's team.
During a recent game, Providence shed its black-and-white attire for green uniforms, the school colors of Sandy Hook. The Friars have also sectioned off an area with 26 empty seats.
...
College basketball has plenty of faults and failings, but one thing the sport has done well is drive awareness to causes and honor those who have fallen during the regular season, whether it is coaches wearing sneakers for cancer or no shoes for Samaritan's Feet or giving back to the military with on-site games. This display by UConn and the Big East may be one of the best.

This is going to tick a lot of people off, but we are not under attack by some foreign invaders or some horrible plague that we do not have an antidote for.
We are under attack by our own citizens with something that makes no sense that they should have or own.
The despair and hand wringing must end so we can take decisive action
