Your 541. Cops saying “no arrests.” I saw the guy on all fours in custody. Is he now non-existent?

He was an overzealous reporter who was pressing for answers at the time of this whole ordeal. He is not the perp.
I read somewhere in this thread that the guy pictured was being detained while they determined his identity; he turned out to be a student reporter and was released. FWIW.
Someone posted earlier that he was a reporter for the campus newspaper, and the police were just trying to get him away from the shooting scene.
That seems a bit ridiculous to me.
I saw that guy being handcuffed, too. If he wasn’t arrested, they owe it to us to explain what we saw.
I think he was a guy from the college paper that the cops wanted out of the area ASAP.
I could be wrong, but I read earlier that the one shown arrested turned out to be a reporter for the school paper.
he was questioned and released.
Has it occurred to you that the person you saw on all fours might not have been 'in custody, but was being PROTECTED by the police? He may have been running to safety and fell down, to be 'covered' by the officers.
That's the problem with snapshots and initial reports. They don't often tell the real story, and then later, when the real story does come out, folks think those are the lies because they don't support what had been initially reported. The press conference going on now is maddening, because the reporters keep throwing the 'reports' up at the police, and the police are trying to put out any facts that they have, and when those few facts don't comport with the rumors, the reporters get mad. That only puts the police and the college administration on the defensive, and makes the situation even worse.
He turned out to be a reporter for the school newspaper trying to see what was going on, and he was released shortly after being questioned.

What channel, that needs to be captured just in case. If it was a collegiate press student, we can ask why he was so close to the scene instead of away. Sure, it could be shock... never know. Was he the one that posted the cell phone video re: shooting? If not, they should have been pulled in ASAP. They were pretty calm throughout.
