Everything breaks on Twitter first.

The first inklings of the Sandy Hook shooting and the Boston Marathon bombing appeared there. I follow sources who have been very reliable. However, I also keep checking for updates and more info. The sources I follow do too.

You can't assume anything is gospel when it first appears. Even later, you have to realize that the story will probably change as more investigation is done.

That said, clues begin to appear almost immediately as people see or hear things. It will move forward until you realize it's very serious or it's debunked.

One child star who went on to even bigger things... I forever will remember her in the movie tap dancing with Bill Bojangles Robinson--something unheard of at the time, but what a performance.

RIP, Ms. Temple Black.
