They've all been well thought out.
Also I personally have not read a reference to the shots being heard. Is the shooter using a silencer?
Are these rounds subsonic?
The forensics guys know more about the shots than is being released.
A report this A.M. had a shell casing being found. Why eject a round from a bolt action rifle unless you intend to chamber/fire again? Why use a gas operated semi-automatic that ejects a casing the good guys can find (or you have to locate) and check for prints?
There's much we aren't being told.
