There is a report now that Lanza tried unsuccessfully to buy a rifle at a sporting goods store this week.

Also, it was reported that Lanza had some sort of 'altercation' with several employees at the school a day or two before the shooting. Nothing was said as to where this took place...and if it was at the school, why would he have been there to begin with?

I have never seen news coverage botched this badly in my entire life.
