It could have been that his mom showed him the page while logged in to her account and he took a photo and sent out that tweet, but deleting that tweet makes me think that is unlikely.
only thing I can think of is since pretty much old people are the only ones really using Facebook nowadays, and since it’s a photo of the screen, his Mom may have been showing him the page and he took a pic with his phone. Not sure why deleted, unless it’s only because people were saying that it seemed suspicious.
I think it might fall just short of absolute proof though: and conceivably there's a reasonable explanation they can give such as "As a good parent, Mom was helping David with some media interview request emails, and somehow forget to log out of her account before giving the computer back given how busy we are fighting to protect our children from Second Amendment Absolutists. Given all of the conspiracy theories promoted by vile people such as Alex Jones (who previously said that no kids died at Sandy Hook), we just deleted that post rather than face a torrent of fresh abuse and new made up theories."
Now, that explanation could be a lie or might not be, but the media would run with that very quickly.

To be fair, wouldn't this be considered circumstantial evidence rather than objective proof?
Still, very suspect stuff and more info to throw into the pile of weirdness about this shooting and the media followup.

Have you ever been logged into your mother's facebook account, looking at your own page?
Then screencapped it and posted it to your twitter?
Then deleted it without explanation?
Of course it is not proof, there's never proof...but it fucking stinks.

It's incredibly suspect.
