Here are some accounts of Manfredonia specifically:

"Chris Manfredonia, whose 6-year-old daughter attends the school, was heading there Friday morning to help make gingerbread houses with first-graders when he heard popping sounds and smelled sulfur.

He ran around the school trying to reach his daughter and was briefly handcuffed by police. He later found his child, who had been locked in a small room with a teacher.

"The whole reason we moved here a year ago is because when you drive down the subdivision, it's a happy place," said his wife, Georgeann Manfredonia. "There's a ton of children here and the families are very kind and supportive."

"On Friday morning, [Chris Manfredonia], went to help make gingerbread houses in the first-grade class of the couple’s daughter. As he approached the school, he heard popping sounds, then smelled sulfur.
He attempted to reach his daughter by going around the side of the school. Police had arrived by then, stopped him and briefly handcuffed him."

[Said to be from Chicago Trib, but having hard time finding archived version. Above is quoted in several other sites.]

"Much of the "second shooter" speculation was spurred by a man who was detained and released after being spotted in the woods outside the school. Numerous witnesses and TV stations reported seeing a man handcuffed and placed in a police car on Friday morning. After he was interviewed and released, police moved on to other matters, but the record was never fully cleared up and the event got lost in the larger story, leading many to believe the arrest was being actively suppressed. We admit it took a bit of digging to discover that others had figured out that the man in question was most likely Chris Manfredonia, the father of a Sandy Hook student, who attempted to sneak into the school after the shooting started. Police can be heard relaying his name over their radios, but few outlets managed to follow up with that detail."

Original Message “So I decided to walk up the hall to actually find out what the noise was because it was continuous,” Midlik said. “It would stop and then it would start. It would stop and start.”

In the hallway she met a father of a student. He was there to help build gingerbread houses. Then an art teacher walked by and recognized the sound.

“She said, ‘Oh my God, guns! I hear shooting.’ And so at that point I looked at the dad and I said, ‘Go back to the classroom and tell the teacher it’s a lockdown, and close the door and keep the kids safe,’ ” Midlik recalled."

Okay. That contradicts Manfredonia's story that he was pulling up to the school.

Midlik says she told him to go help teachers, and close the door and protect the children. Instead he fled the school.
