FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- The state will release information about the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School by Friday, March 29, Gov. Dannel Malloy said Thursday.
“Today, my office contacted the chief state’s attorney. I requested, and they have agreed, to release additional information relevant to the investigation and to provide a status on where the investigation currently stands," Malloy said in a statement.
The type of information that can "reasonably be shared" is still up to the state's attorney and law enforcement, Malloy said. But he added that he was confused as to why state Rep. Lawrence Cafero, R-Norwalk, and law enforcement needed a special briefing on the tragedy in order to take a position on potential legislative responses, including gun control, background checks and mental health issues. Cafero is the House minority leader.
“To Mr. Cafero and those others I must ask: what more could you possibly need to know?" Malloy said. “I ask again – what more does Mr. Cafero need to know before he’s finally ready to take action?”

THANK YOU MODERATOR
For removing the paid propaganda posts from the NRA. However its seems that the NRA flunkies are up to their same games yet again. /ALL PROPAGANDA AND LIES
repeal the second Amendment
One needs to wonder why the daily is allowing the pro gun propaganda which is clearly being posted by paid trolls of the NRA (FOX ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK).
I always wear my best dress to the pro gun rally
One needs to wonder why the daily is allowing the pro gun propaganda which is clearly being posted by paid trolls of the NRA. With that said they seem to promptly remove any post that points this out.
One needs to wonder why the daily is allowing the anti gun propaganda which is clearly being posted by paid trolls of the CSGV (Bloomberg).
Now Malloy is demanding info from the investigation a mere 48 hours after his condescending comments.
Hypocrisy?
Some of the info that's leaked is disturbing and while the anti Liberty crowd has used the tragedy to forward their agenda it seems most people have doubts about their intentions.
There should be no legislation made until the full investigation reports are released.
Thank you moderators for weeding out the posts with no relative discussion.
More NRA paid posts from wise guy
I am fairly certain they are deleting only your platitudes.
No one likes a troll, Timmy.
Stevie
I am fairly certain that you are a homosexual troll that stalks other men.
Which is clear by your obsessive postings in regards to this Timmy. Is he about x-homosexual lover of yours?
Jrey
This ponytail steve troll has stalked me for years from site to site. It has many different user names however one thing stays the same it always stalks men.Wait you will see as soon as the troll replies to my post.
Timmy, every person, including the moderator knows you are TIM T and you think you still fool people.
You are too stupid to write proper English, no matter what user name you use.
And why all the homosexual talk? Why bring that into this?
Hi queen stevie
Same old spam from you as always. Your name changes but your ignorance stays the same. Tell us queen did you even get to the 3rd grade?
I am truly disappointed in Larry Cafero as well. I agree, why would more information make a difference, the facts are the facts. Military weapons were used to kill teachers and children. Fact. 3000 people are shot each day - yes, not all from high capacity weapons, but 3000 deaths a day is undeniable. I am waiting to see the courage come from our state. I applaud Colorado and hope our lawmakers have that courage.
Fact: Semi-automatic rifles as used in the tragedy are not used by any military who equip their soldiers with fully automatic rifles. Your premise is incorrect.
Fact: 60% of deaths attributed to firearms are suicides. Suicide rates are independent of firearm ownership as those serious about suicide use other methods. Example: Japan has 2x the suicide rate yet very low firearm ownership.
Fact: No state with stricter gun control laws has a lower violent crime rate.

Please stop posting your lies. We are aware that the NRA is paying you for this however you should try getting a job at McDonalds instead as you seem to be fit for that type of work
Look, all the trolling and fake posting aside, I don't see why this is necessary. At the end of the day too many lives were lost and their poor families and loved ones have to live with that grief and loss everyday. To have this information and opening this can of worms again can only do more harm to them.
I don't know any involved, yet I feel extremely protective of them. The public does not need to know the details and open those wounds again. In my unpolitical opinion Larry Cafero is a jerk for pushing the issue.
the only thing the filthy Republicans care about is having their weapons of mass destruction
the only thing the filthy Democrats care about is taking away people's guns for self protection.
Your caps lock is stuck?
For a good read on how our public education system has failed take s look here:

One could only deduce that this child Was left behind, sorry I know I shouldn't stoop to their level but, ...did you read any of that?
Rage much?
Jealousy?
I hear that your Socialist party pays more but, when someone replies you have to give the money to THEM.
ETA all the income I've generated tonight is Tax free too, there's a deduction on the IRS 1040 long form for it called "Help preserve the Constitutional Rights of the People and the future of America" deduction.
It's been leaked that the first responders only saw pistol casings, no rifle casings.
While I don't have a Reynolds Wrap hat, I'm wondering if anyone will know the truth.

I thought the exact same thing. I just did a little research and found that you are 100 percent correct.
So, Obama, is confused as to why Cafero, R-Norwalk, needs a "special briefing on this tragedy, in order to take a position on potential legislative responses, including gun control,
background checks and mental health issues".
Easy one to answer! Because he is a republican!
He needs to know ALL the facts before he can twist and pervert them for his OWN agenda.
Typical sleaze republican!!
Jackie, what agenda would that be?
The agenda that calls for disarming our citizens and fostering a police state?
The erosion of rights through unconstitutional legislation?
Spending Hundreds of Millions while we face a budget deficit agenda?
The "The don't let a tragedy go to waste agenda?
Actually, Jackie, I believe it is Malloy who asked that question of Cafero. Obama has laid low on gun-taking laws once he realized that he was going to lose the AWB battle in Congress. Sending out Joe "a shotgun is all you need" Biden was not his brightest mood either.
But Jackie, what do you propose? That the state pass possibly unconstitutional laws in the height of an emotional moment ensuring that a "crisis does not go to waste"?
That the Legislature ignore that rifle bans and mag limits have a history of being ineffectual wherever they are introduced? You know, like in Chicago or DC?
That the Legislature ignore the Obama/Holder Justice Department's summary that rifle bans and mag limitations have little to no impact on neither routine crime nor rampage killings?
Are you in support of Gov Malloy who originally wanted the Legislature to take their time and do things "right" but then lost his temper and released a tantrum of a proposal of his own? The same Gov who has held back details of the Sandy Hook Massacre because they would show that this was more about a twisted and deranged young man who the system ignored and/or missed? The same Gov who has WH aspirations in 2016 and feels he has to be stronger on gun control than Cuono, a Gov who has shed 17% in popularity since he helped ram through the problem-plagued NYSAFE Act?
And let's not forget that this is the same gov who tried to lure the Freedom Group's Bushmaster manufacturing to Connecticut for the added high-skill manufacturing jobs. That is, before "Bushmaster" became a rhetorical 4-lettered word.
So what do you really want Jackie, an ideological win by the intellectual superior Left against the bitter clingers of the Right? Be honest with us....
So will Malloy allow the State's attorney to release more details than already disclosed in the Lupica article? Would this "official" disclosure be coming if not for a disgusted LEO spilling the details the State's authorities have been hiding from Connecticut residents? would this information have been helpful to know as the legislature debates onerous gun restrictions?

It will be interesting to see. Notice we are still waiting details from the CO shooting as well.
Goes to show without a doubt the kid had some mental problems. To say the least.
A toxicology report would be a good start, along witb the rest of the investigation reports.
One would think knowing all the details is paramount to making legislation.
Hey remember nancy had to "pass the bill to see what's in it?"
The only thing this administration has done Is sell many guns and ammo.
Thank you Obama for that!
Even Reid did not pass the ban. He knows it won't pass...
Liberal agenda crumbling as usual
But details in is case would focus on the months if not years of planning, how it was not a spontaneous act and how violent video games mental illness was front and center in this case. You know, mental illness and violent culture that the Legislature is ignoring in their law-making machine tons!
Or, maybe the details of the shooting like the killer dropping half empty mags doing repeated tactical reloads that obliterate the uninformed "Why does someone need 30-round magazines?" arguments.
Or that the kids who escaped were able to do so for reasons that had anything to do with the killer reloading?
Or maybe that the tox screen will show the killer had a less-than-therapeutic level of prescribed mess in his system at the time of the attack indicating the need for enforced med regimes?
Or maybe they would discuss something about the father who abandoned the his son and ex-wife, married a younger woman and moved 30+ miles away when the killer was a vulnerable teen?
Sadly, what I think will be released will be many details about the firearms,, the brutal nature of the mode of the individual deaths, how the killer's mother procured and stored the firearms and all manner of details that bolster the focus on guns and not on root causes.
THAT is what I would expect from this agenda-driven, White House-aspiring governor and his minions.
Thomas Paine YOU REALLY ARE A MORON
It is so very easy to try and ban guns, etc. It will do nothing.
In fact, this (and Obama) has helped gun sales tremendously. Hell, you cannot even get ammo anywhere now a days!
Thanks Obama
SO if we went by your logic or should I say lack of logic we should have no laws because somebody may violate one. Tell us are you truly this stupid or do you post just for attention
At least amend it to recognize what was meant back then (i.e. muskets and the like) is not in any way the types of weapons available today.
Muskets were THE assault weapon of its time. A true weapon of War.
It fires a 3/4inch ball similar in size yet twice as heavy as a 12ga slug.
Should we then ban all communications other than the written word seeing as tv, cell phones and the internet were not even a dream at the time?
Looks like wise guy started with his paid posts early today.
He is a very good employee of the NRA.
Looks like .jrey: started with his paid posts early today.

Are guns an issue in this country definitely, but hardly anyone is addressing the real reason why this tragedy occurred (including our govenor) and that is why are individuals with serious mental health issues being cared for at home and not in a facility. If this individual was in a mental health facility and not at home this tragedy would have been avoided.
Years ago there were places for people to go who had problems functioning in society, were they the best solution in the world probably not, but at least they were being cared for, monitored and properly taking any medications they needed. We need to stop focusing all the attention on guns and focus more on the real problem how to care for people with serious mental health issues.
