I think tight lipped and they hold these news conferences to keep the public calm.....and the media off their back.

You're probably right but a better way to keep the public calm would be to hold a news conference when there IS something to actually say and preferrably by someone who can answer a basic question like what happens to the bullet when it's released to ATF after/during the autopsy. And definitely a better way to keep the press off their backs is to tell them you'll hold a conference when there is news.
