I think the guy holding the press conference is trying to field questions without answering them and giving away evidence.

They have ruled out murder/suicide at the incident in the dorm.

“Yes.” Per presser.

The murder-suicide angle is ruled out, per the police chief just now.

This evening’s press conference is very PC. Very. Put a fork in it. They’re done.

Yes, they’re doing exactly that—but it’s now most “news” conferences are given. You come away from these things with at least as many questions as when you tuned in.

don’t think they should be having these pressers until they have more information.

Agree. It is approaching a waste of time to hold two pressers within 2.5 hours, with no signficant news to add.

Yep, that’s what I’m hearing too...

We now have two seperate shooters. The Chief won;t say it, but he said it.

Well someone from the media asked the prior military question. I’ve been waiting for that.

It sounds like they have a person of interest in custody that is not the same as the dead shooter. But its unclear; the speaker at the press conference is terrible.

Ok, maybe the person of interest was a witness to the first shooting or connected somehow, yet, not the shooter.

DIFFERENT SHOOTERSfrom the dorm and Norris shootings, per presser. Have they got IDs on either?

Seems to me the witness survivors and other witnesses could easily offer descriptions, to find out if it was one or two shooters.

They said they have a tentative ID on a shooter, but they are not saying who or revealing that information.
