You mention the perp was found first u[pon entering the building. I’m still thinking about the phone video and sound the Pakistani student sent out from the outside of the building ... and the louder than the internal shots report which caused him to flinsh and say ‘whoa!’ It is reportedc that Cho shot himself in the back of the head ... I wonder, after he was hit by a SWAT round or was he actually killed by the SWAT sniper and the reason his face was gone was because the sniper took the head shot when it presented? There is much that is still not clear and may never be clarified, but the sound from outside the building is still resounding in my memory.
I don’t think any of know the precise sequence, but from what I saw, the entry was made by uniformed officers prior to any formal SWAT deployment, so I doubt there was either a sniper involved or a shootout. My guess would be the shooter heard the cavalry coming up the stairs and possibly was low on ammo, and decided to end it before they grabbed him.
I didn’t mean to indicate they found him first. They found him among the victims shortly after they made entry. The point I was making is that he didn’t “run around loose for 8 hours” as some have claimed.
