More on Tammy:

Binnette’s extensive criminal history includes a prison stint for that fiery crash, which occurred when she was pregnant with Tyler’s older sister, Therese.

And she wants Jeffrey Giuliano imprisoned?

Oops. #1 includes material already posted in original post. Sorry.

Trying to do this and watch Ryder Cup. Multitasking doesn't always work....

This makes the third story of the incident posted here today, all different.

MyLife page for a Kathryn Januzzi lists Tammy Binnette, 45, New Milford, CT, as a relative (which explains the boy's birth name Januzzi).

The story is developing. There will be varying reports on the background story. The incident is being pretty uniformly reported.

A further read of this article discloses that Tyler and his sister Therese (who obviously survived the fiery crash in 1993) were adopted by the Giulianos when their grandmother could no longer care for them. Tyler was a student in one of Giuliano's classes at the time.

No good deed seems to go unpunished.

Condolences to Mr. Giuliano.

The article is incorrect in that Connecticut doesn't require the registration of handguns. However, records for sale and transfer of handguns are kept by the Department of Public Safety. The State Police may be checking to see if the paperwork exists.

#6, seems to me that's a clear form of registration.

Regardless of that aspect of the story (let's call it a 'sidebar') this whole situation is heartbreaking, to say the least.

Sounds like mom should be spayed.

During my teaching days, I had FBI agents, Treasury agents, IRS agents, State Police, local police, and they all said the same thing.
If you are facing a person with a knife in their hand, and your sidearm is holstered, if they are closer than 21 feet, they will kill you before you can shoot.
In addition, law enforcement personnel are taught to shoot for body mass, and to keep on shooting as long as the person is advancing on you. If Mr. G. had taken a firearms self defense course, and I bet he had done that, he did exactly what he was taught to do.
And as an aside, Paul Williams had to shoot his own son, Ricky, the evil offspring of Paul and his then wife, Eva Longaria. And the circumstances were similar, except paul knew that he was shooting his own son.(Young and the Restless. I watch too much tv.)

Many decades ago I belonged to the fund-raising auxiliary of a home for psychotic children, many who were pre-school age. Some of them had been responsible for the deaths of infant siblings, which were in those days (and maybe now?) passed off as SIDS.

The notion of a very young child's being psychotic was very hard to wrap one's mind around, but it does occur. And I doubt that they "look" or "seem" abnormal. Although we did not see the children, I was told that these kids looked like normal kids.
