some observations

1. Guy is wearing white shirt. Is that a mug shot? What happened to the black shirt he was wearing during the shooting? (Assuming this is even the same guy)

2. What happened to his glasses?

3. Video footing of guy hiding doesn’t sound like gunshots to me (but videos aren’t necessarily known for their high fidelity sound). Sounds more like a staple gun.

4. The guy in the mugshot looks a lot different from the yearbook photo. Maybe they stretched one of the images? The yearbook guy has a much taller and narrower face. Mouth shape looks different. (to me. YMMV.)

5. Picture of the mall. The people outside look pretty nonchalant for a shooting situation. Even assuming that shooter was already arrested, are you going to have that many people standing around outside or walking by? IIRC, it was a long time before they determined the number of shooters and/or that he/they were under arrest.

6. Why do we get such crisp clear pictures of the mall from a distance, but all the pictures of the perp during the incident are so blurry?

7. To me, the picture of the perp through the bus window looks fake. Look at the guy in the green on the left. See all the shadows going from right to left. What’s up with the shadow going from the green guy’s feet toward the top/left? Also, (again, to me) the perp looks painted into the scene. The edges around him look very odd and his face looks lower resolution than the rest of the scene.

8. Nice big clear pictures of grief stricken mourners/victims. (AP photo, so yeah I expect it to be clearer.) AP is always there in time to get clear photos of victims but not in time to get pics of perps?

Probably a lot more if we look carefully and ask questions.
