Eleven steps at 12” spacing = 12 foot ladder
Counting the rungs, this seems to be the ladder:
Louisville Ladder 10-Foot Fiberglass Step Ladder, 375-Pound Load Capacity, Type IAA, FS1410HD

...And CNN looks like a news organization
We don’t know anything about the ladders yet, he bought a 5 foot ladder that if intended for and taken to the shooting could have been to get on top of an A/C unit, or past the locked barrier on a built in permanent ladder, or onto something else for a path to the roof.
The 12 foot ladder we don’t know if it was already in place or if the law has been using it since the shooting, if it had been in place surely the SS removes or locks off things like that rather than just leaving them in place.
Those composite ladders are very heavy.
It does. Either a 12 or 15 foot ladder. I don’t know if there’s a way to determine a ladder’s height just based on the number of steps?
That is not a 5-foot ladder. I own an 8-ft fiberglass and that sucker is heavy. I would not want to carry it very far. Unless that ladder is an extension ladder like my BIL uses it would not fit in a Sonata. He has an aluminum ladder that telescopes from trunk size to 10 feet. But it has rounded sides. This ladder does not look like that. It looks like a standard 10-15-ft step ladder.
This looks to be at least a 10' ladder:
The story is still not coherent.
Figure one foot per rung. Closer to a 10 foot./
