You have to wonder for a guy so stocked up on firepower and ammo, why he didn’t body armor up and make barricades of furniture and mattresses and stuff. He knew this was endgame and he wasn’t going to survive it, but he doesn’t want to even attempt to ensure he can use all or most of his stuff by having body some body armor and rudimentary cover/protection.
I guess I don’t have his thought processes. I cannot understand what goes on in the mind of someone like this.
One scenario was that he was engaged by armed personnel early and he might have shot himself at that time. A different explanation was that he was shooting through the door when SWAT arrived, and that when they entered, they found him dead.
Some of the accounts were that he shot anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes? Why not more? If he wasn't dead, I would have expected him to keep on shooting until he was absolutely overwhelmed, which would have meant that many more than 59 people would have been killed, and many more injured because he had a lot of time, and still a lot of ammunition.
I can buy into a belief though that he was not going to be taken alive. My question is when he actually died? Early or later? An early death would explain why he apparently stopped shooting. A later death makes one wonder why he didn't keep shooting.
Yes, why didn’t he keep shooting?
He went through the trouble to haul his arsenal up there, but didn’t really use much.
He could have doubled his kill, especially since he knew that there were only 1-3 lightly armed men at his door.
Perhaps he had anticipated being joined by several others, only one showed.
