A bit out of the ordinary, isn’t it.

...shut down of campus "cannot happen instantly" according to the university president....

They are all very defensive about the time gap between the first and second shooting.

Seems like two shooters... or a whole lot of confusion.

Chief Flinchum reminds me of the feckless Chief Moose. Why call a news conference if you refuse to give out any information? These people are not ready for prime time...

Because he had no ID and shot himself in the face. It’ll take a while, but I’d rather that they get it right the first time.

He didn’t have any ID on him. So, I’m guessing they are having a hard time proving who he is.

Is it still an issue of not being able to ID him, or have they identified him but are not releasing that info yet?

I would bet they know exactly who this person is, but are dreading releasing the info.

My guess—The shooter is:
A. an Illegal Alien
B. A muslim.

PC dictates that you do not reveal the identity of either.

Thought I heard the cop saying they were interviewing the person of interest in the 1st shooting while the 2cnd shooting was taking place. For some reason, they believe the 2 shootings to be separate. If so, this has got to beat astronomical odds that two shootings would occur like this 2 hours apart. BTW, the person of interest has not been charged.

Shooter id concealed most likely on racial or religious identification of shooter. They will try to make this a jilted lover case; however, the pattern is the shooter apparently did not find his alleged lover and then went on to kill scores.

The other problem is thus far they have not even ruled out the possibility of two shooters and seem reluctant to come to that conclusion without ballistic proof.

Either they know exactly who he is (fingerprints) or they won’t know for some time (not on file for whatever reason).

My guess is they know exactly who he is. Remember, the feds are heavily involved.

Is that because he's dead?

Is that your opinion or your hope?

Something tells me you're praying it is A.
