I wonder if this is the answer I've been seeking...
My original question:
My question is why is the government and the media trying to convince everyone that the perp in 'the springs' took his own life when the eye witness accounts were clearly unanimous in that Ms. Hassan fired the kill shot, after the perp was down with Ms. Hassan standing over him, when he reached for "what looked like a grenade" (most likely a smoke bomb since he'd used one earlier) I could understand possibly the kill shot didn't kill immediately and he died 10 or 15 minutes later, but there's no way all the eye witnesses could tell us Ms. Hassan fired the kill shot and the perps guns were jammed, if the perp actually shot himself... reasonable ideas anyone?
I think that the police did her a big favor by stating that he killed himself. Saves her from potential wrongful death suits from greedy family members.
Having seen several accidental/suicidal self-inflicted wounds from M16 rifles in which a muzzle contact or arms-length shooting distance was involved, I can tell you that the results look nothing like the result of a hit from a 9mm or .40 caliber handgun fired from several feet away.
The police and coroner's press conference statements that the gunman *killed himself with a self-inflicted wound fired from his shotgun* have now been shown to be deliberate lies at worst and erronious at the least, since we now know that the long gun in his position was a .223 caliber rifle...and not the reporteed *shotgun* that wasn't in his possession, though several of the earliest responding cops on the scenes showed up with the scatterguns from their cruisers.
My suspicion is that a very close-up *certainty* shot was made, either just after the shooter went down, or by one of the first cops on the scene. And by continuing to bring the light of public interest on the case, Larry Bourbonnais is unwittingly a part of unravelling their coverup of the actual events, and accordingly has to be silenced, one way or another.
