Details Emerge About Family of Suspected Gunman - Tammy Audi, Heather Haddon, Erica E. Phillips and Tamer El-Ghobashy/WSJ

New details emerged late Friday about the family of the suspected gunman in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., which left 28 people dead.

Law-enforcement officials identified the suspected shooter as 20-year-old Adam Lanza and said he was found dead inside the school. Officials said the alleged shooter’s mother, Nancy Lanza, was believed to be among the victims.

Earlier, a law-enforcement official incorrectly identified the suspect as 24-year-old Ryan Lanza, who is Adam’s brother. Ryan was questioned by investigators Friday but isn’t believed to have had any role in the shooting.

Two federal law-enforcement officials familiar with the investigation said the firearms recovered at the scene — Glock and Sig Sauer handguns – were registered to the alleged shooter’s mother and are legal. A third firearm was registered to Ms. Lanza as well, the officials said....

A former school board official in Newtown called into question earlier reports that Nancy Lanza had been connected to Sandy Hook Elementary School, possibly as part of the teaching staff.

“No one has heard of her,” said Lillian Bittman, who served on the local school board until 2011. “Teachers don’t know her.”
