It's more likely the shooter is two people - one serving as a lookout.

Not so sure about that. A single shooter with a cold blooded and calculating mind, and an eye for picking out good shooting positions could do this just as well as two people. It just seems unlikely that two or more people could be of the same mind to commit this type of "impersonal" attack without some sort of more obvious common motivation (i.e. terrorism for political causes). But if it is more than one shooter motivated by terror, why aren't the terrorists making known their cause?

In any case, the focus on the white van must be some sort of disinformation play on the part of the authorities. Hard to believe that the perp(s) would continue to use a white van after the media coverage and also hard to believe that the investigators would not factor this in.

What a sick, twisted mess.

The authorities may feel they have to tell the public something, and, since they cannot say what they really know for some reason, they tell us about the white van instead to keep us pacified.

I don't discout al-Quaida terrorism at all. This is exactly the behavior threatened months ago when the US was warned that its citizens would face death going about their daily activities.
