Adam Lanza....always knew you were a little off in High School.

SARAAA™ (@SaraKelley_) December 14, 2012Now that authorities and the media have turned their attention from the mistakenly identified Ryan Lanza to his younger brother Adam, neighbors and classmates who knew the alleged Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter are sharing their memories and impressions. Unnamed officials have said that Ryan described his brother as having a “personality disorder,” a description that others seem to back up.
@SaraKelley_ was he in our grade?—

“@NickyT4: @SaraKelley_ was he in our grade?” Yeah…he always carried a briefcase around. Very quiet.—

Talked to a friend who knew Nancy Lanza. She retired a few years ago to take care of Adam (who was autistic).—

Those who claim to have known Adam Lanza say they’re not terribly surprised by the news.
Lived in Newtown for 4 years. Never in my wildest dreams could have imagined this happening there. Heartbreaking.—

Just an hour ago (still thinking it was Ryan), I spoke to a friend who knew Adam Lanza and said he wouldn't be surprised if it was him—

I knew Nancy Lanza. She lived around the corner from me. Such a kind woman. I can't believe this. #NewtownSchoolShooting—

It has to be Adam, not Ryan #NewtownSchoolShooting—

I used to have play dates with Adam Lanza. In his house. In my neighborhood.—

@kelseymyers nothing much to say- can reference my tweets. Knew Adam as a child at Sandy Hook. He was definitely a little off. That's it.—

Used the play baseball with Adam Lanza. Never thought someone I once knew would kill over 25 innocent people.—

Personality disorder or not, there’s no sympathy to be found here:
So scary that someone so sick and twisted can live down the street from me #sandyhook—

Adam Lanza has been a weird kid since we were 5 years old. As horrible as this was, I can't say I am surprised… Burn in hell, Adam.—
