It seems odd that having killed his girlfriend in the heat of passion, the perp could come up with a chillingly perfect plan to commit mass murder and acquire the means to do so, all in a two hour period when the campus was ostensibly locked down.

I don't think the statement implied that the shooter caught his ex-girlfriend in bed with another man THIS morning.

If he was wearing a vest it has nothing to do with the girlfriend. That would make it preplanned. Also, he likely was the one calling in bomb threats last week.

Maybe. Time will tell.

Muhammad and Malvo were described as two white guys in a box truck until the very end.

The murder of the “girlfriend” could have been a decoy, disposing of a witness, or a lover’s quarrel gone wrong.

If it was known that girl X was killed by her boyfriend at 7 am - and it seems that is the consensus, it’s hard to see why a name should not be known already. It’s not hard on a college campus to find out that girl X is dating boy y, and surely the kids seem to be cooperating very nicely with the media. And still no name. Why? There’s no presumption of innocence here - the perp is dead.

Chains, kevlar vests, numerous rounds of ammo, etc? It just seems like a stretch to assume that the first murder caused the second attack. Something doesn’t make sense.
