Hey, it could be. They are being very careful not to jump to conclusions, even “obvious” ones. Someone could have done the first shooting and then given the weapons over to another student to do the second set of shootings.
Sure, it’s implausible, but not impossible, and so there’s no reason to assert as fact that it was one person.
We are apparently so used to our law enforcement jumping to conclusions that we have taken their caution as a sign of incompetence. Yesterday people kept saying they were talking “two gunmen” when it seemed clear they were simply saying they couldn’t be certain it was NOT multiple gunmen.
I expect that today some people will take the facts as they are now known, and QUESTION those facts because “it’s not what they told us yesterday”, when in fact what we “know” from yesterday was speculation from people who weren’t waiting for the facts.
Good points....
