Much of the skepticism about what happened in Newtown Connecticut in December of 2012 can be traced back to how quickly the crime was politicized, the fact that no wounded victims survived, a lot of information typically released after a crime occurs was not released, and of course the rather surprising failure of the FBI and/or the Connecticut law enforcement officials to include the murders in the crime statistics published by the FBI.

Why nobody bothered to include the murders in the published FBI 2012 crime data is hard to explain, except perhaps they were all to busy meeting with Bloomberg to plan their anti-gun crusade.

Take a look at the number of murders reported for Newtown Connecticut in 2012 on the FBI.gov website:

FBI 2012 CT Reported Crimes by Town

It is not surprising that some people mistakenly believe the published FBI data, or are otherwise skeptical of anything the government says given the reputation of the current administration and liberals in general for lying for political reasons.

...the fact that no wounded victims survived...

To avoid fanning the flames of the truther types, I should have said there were no reports of wounded students surviving. A number of wounded adults survived.

The crime, committed by a deranged young man, obviously occurred. Why the law enforcement organizations haven't managed to report the murders, and/or publish them on the FBI web site is a reflection of bureaucrats at work, not what actually happened.
