Regarding the media and children: don't you think it likely that the media was NOT told but the school system WAS?

There is a great deal of discussion about what's being told the public and what is not.

'The public' does not have a right to all the details of the investigation. Hopefully, they will be given enough to take reasonable actions toward self protection, where it is possible to do so.

The media still believes it is at war with anyone with knowledge not yet in print. This morning the first police statement included a plea to stop trying to photograph or ingerview everyone in the neighborhood - before the cops could get to them.

I'm coming around to believing that much of what has been put out to the media is misinformation in any event. Possibly to force the shooter(s) into communications. [Such as - "what do you mean by implying that I/We want money...we're doing this because ...."].

It's possible that the three page note is a ruse aimed at breaking up the team - which MIGHT explain why today's shooting returned to the home area. [Could there be a white box truck sitting in a lot somewhere with a very ugly smell coming from the back?]

Finally:

There seems to have been at least one distinct departure during this string - the kid at school. Apart from the 'returning home' theory, I wonder if the bus driver is also a departure since it suggests a fairly close shot [In darkness although driver probably had light for paperwork). Target inside the bus and elevated [shooter had to be fairly low to ground level - essentially shootin upwards]. And, a target that literally had to be there at the approximate time [standard stop/lay over for paperwork]?

And who might that ugly smell be coming from?
