<>I just want to know why they were just searching the trunk and finding the gun that long after the shooting, or why they waited so long to secure the weapon as evidence after they had found it earlier.<>

The answer to your two questions is in the picture posted at #186.

The car had already been searched and the shotgun found. Note the black sweatshirts strewn on the ground inside the yellow tape. Those had been inside the car and thrown out in the search, thus this advisory to dispatch from the scene:

9:55:25: “Be advised, we have multiple weapons. One rifle and a shotgun”

And note the yellow tape. Everything within that tape had been later marked off and secured as part of the crime scene under police guard. How much more secure could it have been????

And since it is part of the crime scene, nothing inside that yellow tape gets moved until it is noted, photographed, logged, then collected for processing by evidence techs in white suits.

Under police guard??? How'd the cops allow that woman to walk up to the front door just a few feet away???

That timeline would suggest that they found the rifle and shotgun shortly after the shooting stopped. But the entire situation could not have been completely assessed by that time, and I think it unlikely that the police would leave a loaded shotgun in an unsecured area even if it was in the trunk of a car. It would have taken much more time to secure the area and make sure there were no other perpetrators around. I also think that the report of a “rifle and shotgun” found would suggest that both were found at the same time. That short timeline and the intensity of the situation makes it unlikely that two separate gun finds, the rifle in the school and the shotgun in the trunk, would be reported at the same time. Something stinks about how the guns were handled by the police. It also seems odd that the police would call in a gun find to the dispatcher.

I don’t understand why you continue to make the cops out in the area to be idiots.

Really, it is mindboggling to me that you keep trying to play up this scenario.

Just assume for a minute that what you say is true.

YOU DON”T TAKE LARGE BLACK CLOTHS THAT APPEAR TO BE CLERGY OUTFITS AND THROW THEM OVER THE DOOR TO THE FRONT OF A CAR.

What is wrong with you.

Do you know nothing about crime scenes?

What evidence would be totally destroyed by doing that? Not to mention you tainted the crime scene.

You leave them where they are and bag them.

What could have REALLY happened.

It’s possible they popped the trunk to insure that there was no child in side. I think a court would allow that.

Let’s say they find a pile of large black clothing objects. It is possible that they could lift them gently to make sure there is no perp or hostage underneath.

YOU DONT THROW THEM OUT OF THE CAR ONTO THE PAVEMENT.

If what you say is true those cops are bungling idiots.
