This is one angle of the story that makes the guy’s plan seem amateurish. I don’t know anyone over the age of 8 who would even think that a bullet would penetrate the exterior of a fuel tank like that.

200 rounds through the walls?
How many rounds at these tanks?
Add up and compare to audio.

Probably fake news to distract the fact that a conservative crowd was targeted.

This is precisely why gun control will never stop mass murder events. If I really just wanted to kill lots of people... Trust me on this, I wouldn’t need lots of guns. I could make the list, but I don’t want to give anyone any ideas here.

Jet fuel is basically kerosene, good luck setting it off with any small arms round.
I believe these tanks are double walled, so holes in the outer wall are no problem.

I know the bump stock causes severe inaccuracy, but not to this extent.
The bullets that hit the tanks were aimed there.
And it would have been sufficient diversion to enable his escape.

I’ll bet he didn’t target them. With only two hits, they were ricochets. That is why one did not penetrate the tank.

"The bullets left holes, but did not penetrate the two circular white tanks"
Just as a definitional matter, I would think "hole" implies penetration and puncture. If there was not penetration all the way through the metal I would call it a "dent" not a "hole."

“The bullets left holes, but did not penetrate...”
Well, by definition, if the didn’t penetrate, they did not “leave holes”.
Who writes this stuff...?!?!
For these tanks the wall itself is the structure, there is no internal framing, the plates are necessarily heavy. 3/4 inch plus of mild steel. No way a 0.223 is getting through that.

Probably just ricochets coming from the front stage area. Angle of entry would be similar.

Fox is walking this back this am. Housley says shooter may have just been shooting at the crowd piled upon on the fence - which was actually breached.

Spent rounds should have a confirmed signature to one of the rifles found in that suite otherwise the claim is a distraction.
