This is the most common. There are a few closer shots, and I'm still looking for them.
It's very obvious from this angle that AR is using a standard magazine and NOT a drum.
I read it was discarded in the theater. He put the magazine in the picture in the gun, but since it was jammed, it was a no-go.
I’d had the impression that parking by this emergency exit would have attracted attention. That’s his car, that white Hyundai Tiburon. Parked legally. Could’ve sat there for hours unnoticed.
And look at all the blood on the sidewalk. Sickening.
That is because the drum mag is on the floor inside. He changed the mag but the AR was still jammed. Didn't practice clearing drills.
I saw a discussion about this photo on a blog pertaining to the blood spattered trail. They said the pattern showed the individual was moving toward the door, not away. I really can’t tell.
That mag could be a reload, after a spent or jammed/malfunctioning drum.
Do we need to pitch in and send them a roll of crime scene tape?
