“Not that erasing visible signs of serial numbers makes much sense if you’re not planning to come out alive.”
Maybe he thought he was protecting whomever supplied the sidearms to him? Just a thought?????1
Possibly. Certainly there will be an investigation as to the origin of these guns.
To me, this seems to be more of a Columbine incident than a terrorist attack, even if the Norris Hall killer is a foreign national. I think we'll find some prior connection from him to that engineering building.
I'm willing to be patient regarding the investigation. You can be sure that it will be thorough and that will take some time. Once this guy is identified, his residence will be thoroughly searched, including phone records, computer files, etc. This will take weeks to complete, even though the entire country is demanding answers now.
There is a temptation for law enforcement to feed the press, but information based on preliminary information looks like a contradiction when the full picture is known and the earlier information proves incorrect.
The guy is dead, and he won't be shooting anyone else. The urgency to know everything about him right this minute isn't based on any new threat he might pose.
