From the very beginning, they were issuing bogus reports.
The first one I heard was that he had been found with two handguns, and there were .223 shell casings nearby.
That one made me go “Huh???”
Then they reported the gun in the trunk.
Next it was reported he had a rifle inside with him.
I even heard a report that there were TWO MORE RIFLES AND A 12 GAUGE found somewhere in the vicinity...
Media frenzy?
Incompetent police work?
Intentional disinformation?
It’s already gotten to the point we will NEVER know for sure.
That part makes me darn suspicious...
Especially, AFAIK, there are no actual surviving witnesses to the shootings.
Yeah, to be honest I have 5 children aged 13 and younger this news story has not been on our televisions, the only info I collected was the few bits and pieces skipping through the channels and what I could web surfing from work on Friday. I hope I didn’t offend you in my initial post, the “we” I was referring to was the population in general and not “we” as in here at Free Republic.
How about the conflicting reports on how he got inside the school? First, we hear that someone buzzed the shooter in. Later, the story is that he broke in.
Although the latter is more likely, I can see the story being massaged to prevent the school from seeming extremely negligent.
At the very least, the cops there did a lousy job of staying in control of the information flow.
