Connecticut State Police Lieutenant Paul Vance speaks to the media regarding Friday’s elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 15, 2012. Vance warned Sunday of misinformation circulating on social media about the massacre.
AFP – Authorities investigating the deadly US school shooting warned Sunday of misinformation circulating on social media about the massacre.
Those spreading such fake details could be subject to arrest, Lieutenant Paul Vance of Connecticut State Police told reporters in the wake of Friday’s attack on the Sandy Hook Elementary School that killed 26 people — including 20 children between the ages of six and seven.
The rampage in the peaceful rural community northeast of New York City rattled the country and sparked a frantic search for answers.
“All information relative to this case is coming from these microphones and any information coming from other sources cannot be confirmed and, in many cases, it has been found as inaccurate,” Vance said.
“There have been indications that there have been quotes by people who are posing as the shooter,” he added. “Anyone perpetrating that information, could, in fact, be subject to arrest and be prosecuted federally.”
