We're back live in Newtown Connecticut had this pretty little New -- town -- the scene of one of the deadliest school shooting in US history.

One year old Adam Lanza is the killer but first reports identified his brother Brian -- as a killer now how did that happen.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- tell -- hadn't happened that there was confusion at the get go and then -- you've spoken to friends of Ryan have you got.

I did speak to friends and Ryan.

There was a lot of confusion everybody.

The Internet started publishing -- picture and a lot of news outlets started calling him.

The killer at that very moment I was talking to some of his friends some -- -- some by phone.

And they told me -- -- to three of his friends and they all told me that they had spoken to him briefly.

Either on FaceBook chat or by phone and that he was in fact at work.

And not the killer it was physically impossible for him to have been in -- -- he was at work and talking on the phone to his friends.

So that and.

In I didn't know.

You know I love up then and his friend -- -- any Bryant's friends have -- ever -- -- Not the one that I spoke to.

They didn't they knew he had a brother -- and that is about the extent of their knowledge that they also had very brief conversations with him today.

Because as you can imagine it was a very crazy for him so they just had a few minutes.

But they knew he had a brother but none of them seem to know Adam.

Today -- then they know anything about Adam did -- never speak about Adam did he ever describe anything and you still bottom are not -- -- -- relationship with them more where he -- anything.

There is very very little knowledge about that.

One of -- friends that tell me that -- the heat had a brother and that he might have been.

A little.

Challenged I reported that earlier in the story that he was developmentally challenged.

But that is that is all the information other information is very -- he.

His friends did -- seem to know his family very well or at least they did not.

Mention that today.

The band that take -- by mentally sound -- don't have any more information beyond that vague description.

I'm sorry -- -- -- time.

He had -- -- -- the -- description mentally challenged we don't know anything more about but Adam by any other description I'm not about Adam.

Not about Adam.

We we we heard earlier today that -- the confusion may have arisen because Adam could have had.

-- and identification on him.

Brian told one of his friends that's the confusion arose that way and that it was probably -- rather than himself.

But other than that and very very little specifications about Adam here in Hoboken police.

-- thank you.
