The one thing with this senario that kinda suprises me is that after hours of media coverage and them talking to so many students that nothing has been learned about the shooter.
I would think that the media would have gleened something from other kids that knew the girl, etc. some of these kids, if this was an old boyfriend, would have met, known, etc the shooter. But there is zero coming aout about him from anyone.
Doesn’t disporve the gilted lover story ... but I do think it a bit odd.
the girlfriend and the R/A? Oh, Nancy Grave will be all over that.
Re the identity of the shooter - the silence could make sense if the June 2006 bomber turned out to be the shooter. A) the police had him before and B) the campus knew of bomb threats.
So probably wouldn’t be so quick to release info until track down how that might have happened.
Of course, I am not saying it is definitely the same person - just trying to figure out what happened.
