Manfredonia, the parent detained briefly, was never "in the woods" or seen coming out of the woods handcuffed. https://www.metabunk.org/posts/193381/
The man with a gun seen in the woods by towns folk was a plain clothes police officer.

Aerial footage of police entering (running into) the woods and detaining [someone] was 2 reporters, later in the day, coming through the woods to get photographs of the school after the police had blocked the school off to civilians.
The man Ron Lowe (blonde guy in interview footage) saw coming out of the woods handcuffed then placed in a police car, was a man from NY who had come to the school after reports of a shooting were aired.

He stated that he tried
some of the doors and looked into the windows to try to find 01 02 03 12 class. He stated that several police officers approached him and
ordered him to the ground. He stated that he was handcuffed and led to the parking lot. He stated that Captain Rios asked another officer to unlock
the handcuffs and then he waited in the parking lot for class to come out of the school. He stated that once her class came out of the
school, he joined the class and helped get them all to the firehouse (see attached statement).

While at the front of the school, Newtown Police Officer Hull, who was standing on the front right corner of the school, yelled that he heard people
shouting "put your hands up". I then ran over to the location to where Ofc. Hull indicated he heard the shouts. I observed three DEP police officers,
with their weapons pointed at two male individuals that were in the woods on the right side of the school. ·I then ran up the hill, in the woods, to the three DEP police officers. As I approached the three DEP officers, I also pointed my rifle at the two males standing with their hands in the air.
approached the male on the right and handcuffed him. I then searched the male for weapons with negative results. Newtown Police Ofc. Flynn then
ran both parties over the radio. One of the DEP officers recorded the two males information. The two males were then identified as reporters for
newspapers. It was then determined that the two reporters were going to be set free for the time oeing. The two reporters were then told to
immediately leave the area. I then returned to the front of the school.

While walking through the parking lot I noticed that a man was handcuffed and sitting on the ground by a vehicle. He was flanked by two police
officers (I do not remember what department these officers were from). I asked why this man was under arrest. An officer told me that the man
could not explain what he was doing in the area. I asked the man his name and he only told me his first name. I then asked his last name. I do not
remember the name but it was something like ._... I asked him why he was in the area. He stated that he used to live in Newtown and just
"happened to be in the area". I asked him if he had a vehicle and he stated that it was pprked at the Sandy Hook Firehouse. I told him that two
officers would be walking him to his vehicle and that he was going to let them search it. I then assigned two Brookfield officers to complete this task.

We then noticed an officer questioning a male individual wearing a brown jacket who had no reason to be on scene. We
then assisted the state police in searching his vehicle and taking him into custody.

Just
next to the triage area another Officer was speaking with a white male wearing a brown jacket. As we inteNiewed this male he explained
to us that he had no reason to be here at the school and stated, "I guess I shouldn't be here I have no reason to be, I think I got too close'.',
" I followed the flashing lights and I wanted to see what was going on". This individual was detained and brought to State Police Troopers
near the Sandy Hook Fire House to be fu rther interviewed.
Some "Truthers" (which I hate calling them) are mentioning a second man in the woods being detained was a off duty swat team member from another department.
Any info on this?
