Is he also the one who said what kind of gun it was?

No, because that guy never claimed to see the shooting. The gun info was direct official stuff from the investigation...as was the cream colored van and the tailight.

It's rather confusing...I suspect we'll have to wait for a WP article from tonight or something for the real story.

Well, you can wait on a WP article to clarify, but in my opinion that is a dubious source.

True, but all the media reports, and Capt. Demme's press conference yesterday, referred to "witnesses." Now the implication is that there was only one witness, and a non-reliable one at that.

As Chief Manger of Falls Church was talking, Moose was coaching his answers in the background.

LE does not look good. The WP reported this morning, in a story describing the emergency medical care given the 13-year-old, that one of the surgeons was caught between a rock and hard place when they recovered a bullet fragment. Both the Montgomery County and Prince George County police demanded to be given the bullet. The doctor, who has experience with such evidence, correctly made a phone call, and got a ruling to give it to the ATF.

In the case of the much-criticized leak of the Tarot card, the WP and the TV station reported that they checked with Montgomery County police and got no answer or objection to publishing the info. The media is a pack of jackals, but how much of the criticism is an attempt to cover up the lack of cooperation between jurisdictions?
