This is a really pathetic press conference.

Ok- I didn’t hear that specifically. I did hear it is an ongoing investigation...and they don’t seem to be certain there is only ONE shooter.

DIFFERENT SHOOTERS from the dorm and Norris shootings, per presser.

What he said was that that POI from the first shooting is not the same as the tentative ID of the dead shooter.

We have two shooters or another person of interest?

I thought that was ridiculous too. I remember my old school had chains but there were locks and only the janitor had the keys.

Yeah, that name rings a bell, they also were selling Steyr AUG bullpups for like $350.00-400..it was a spitting image of the real deal.

Ooh... I'd really like to have one of those, but I couldn't justify spending that much.

there’s no point to having a press conference if they don’t want to say anything

Just heard they say they don't know if the two shootings are connected.

WOW.

Where are the witnesses?? Can't they offer descriptions of both shooters, or one person if only one shooter was involved?

No, caption said the first shooter was not caught and was not shot.

he difference is that William Morva killed a hospital security guard and a local Deputy.

Worth repeating.

So, if the person of interest is not the shooter, why are they looking for the person of interest and what’s the connection? The Police Chief is not giving many details now.

Have they ruled out murder-suicide in the dorm case?

The Police Chief is getting to be a tad annoying with his double speak. When asked if the description of shooter from the dorm matched the dead shooter in Norris, he said he didn’t release a description. Sheesh.

...they were first under the impression that it WAS a domestic situation.

Even if their impression had been correct, their response was wrong.

Put yourself in that room. A gunmen has just shot 3 people. You're told it was a domestic dispute. He's believed to have left the building and no one knows where he is. No firearms were found at the scene so he's assumed to still be armed.

Are you really saying you wouldn't sound the alarm in that situation? I find it incomprehensible that they didn't warn people.
