TFL cannot possibly keep up to date with new information on this event. To avoid misinformation, see the Wikipedia articles on both the shooter and the shooting. They might be wrong in some areas, but they represent current best-known info, and vandalism if it occurs will last about 2 seconds.

Furthermore, to keep everything in perspective, while this might have been the worst (single-perpetrator, domestic) mass shooting in modern U.S. history, it was neither the worst school massacre nor the worst single-perpetrator massacre in American history. For instance:
Bath School Bombing perpetrated by Andrew Kehoe -- 44 dead, 58 injured
Happy Land Social Club Arson perpetrated by Julio González -- 87 dead
Internationally, Australia's recent Port Arthur massacre involved slightly more deaths and fewer injuries (35 and 22, respectively, though sources tend to vary on injuries).
