CNN Friday afternoon named Ryan Lanza as a suspected shooter involved in the massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. Immediately, journalists and others began sharing images from the Facebook account of a Ryan Lanza who was listed as being from Newtown and living in Hoboken, N.J. However, that Lanza has apparently begun posting new Facebook status updates denying any involvement in the attack.

Despite his denials, this Lanza's face has already appeared on news websites and major media networks across the country in association with this story. This Lanza's account has since been deleted.

"We are deeply saddened by the tragedy in Newton, Connecticut and our sympathies go out to the families and loved ones of the victims. Out of respect for those involved, and as this is an active law enforcement investigation, we are declining to comment further at this time." said Facebook.
