At first report the caliber of the weapons used were found in the trunk, but not on the body/at the scene; this changed two or three times in the news cycles.
Another was the style of weapon used: handguns vs. long-guns.
Another was the reports of which weapons were which; (e.g. Colt vs Winchester) which also changed several times.
Considering also that the number of rounds reported to be fired, and the number of casualties/hits, puts his accuracy as something like 90% — an amazing, and unrealistic, accuracy rate for a situation when people's fight or flight instinct is kicking to overdrive.
I can understand rushed reporting; and while there certainly was some of that, the lack of solidity on the basic details (e.g. which style of guns, which guns were used) is bizarre.
The official statements from police were all consistent though, the only thing that changed were reports from the media. The media getting facts wrong about firearms is not bizarre, it’s par for the course. If they had actually reported accurately about the firearms used, THAT would be bizarre.
“Considering also that the number of rounds reported to be fired, and the number of casualties/hits, puts his accuracy as something like 90% — an amazing, and unrealistic, accuracy rate for a situation when people’s fight or flight instinct is kicking to overdrive.”
Really? He was shooting fish in a barrel, kids crammed into bathrooms and closets with nowhere to run. There’s nothing unrealistic about this at all.
