LANZA BREAKOUT-PL-SOT-PL

WE ALSO FOUND OUT TONIGHT--

ADAM'S FORMER TEACHERS SAY A PSYCHOLOGIST WAS ASSIGNED TO HELP PROTECT HIM WHILE HE ATTENDED HIGH SCHOOL.

"I've been asked so many times, was he bullied? I can say, it's impossible because we all watched him so closely. But somewhere after he graduated and went on in his world, sadly enough he lost all that support."

ADAM'S FORMER TEACHERS AND FAMILY FRIENDS ADMIT HE STRUGGLED WITH ASPERGER SYNDROME-- WHICH IS A MILD FORM OF AUTISM.

HOWEVER, MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS CLAIM IT HAS NO CLEAR CONNECTION TO THE VIOLENCE.

SALVATION ARMY NEEDS HELP

The Salvation Army Needs a Christmas Miracle

Kettles Fall Behind Goal; Will Impact Charity's Services to Homeless

The Salvation Army announced today that it is only 54% of the way toward its goal for the red kettle campaign this year. With only 7 days left to ring, this means the charity will need to raise $55,000 per day to meet their stated goal.

For the past three years, The Salvation Army has averaged a goal $600,000 for its traditional Christmas fundraising campaign. This year's target of $720,000 represents a 20% increase in the goal. Funds raised in this drive are used to share the joy of Christmas with thousands of needy children and to support The Salvation Army's other programs throughout the year. Increased need in one of these programs is making the Army's fundraising success more crucial than ever before.

The Salvation Army operates the only emergency shelter for homeless families in Lee County, and is overwhelmed with parents and children needing a safe place to stay. Rather than turn these families away, The Salvation Army is stretching every dollar to feed and shelter them - but without additional funds, it won't be able to keep up for much

longer.

"The increased number of families we're serving - over and above those we've budgeted for - will cost The Salvation Army in excess of $100,000 this year," said Major Tom Louden, Area Commander for The Salvation Army. "The red kettle effort is absolutely critical in raising the money to provide this essential service for the most vulnerable in our community. If ever we needed a Christmas miracle, the time is now."
