| Chris,
They don't know yet if there was a second gunman... or a first, depending on how you look at it.
They are awaiting confirmation that the bullets used in the first shooting came from the guns found on Cho in the second shootings.
What they also aren't focusing on is the number of injuries. 30+ have died so far, but the initial number was in the 20's. People died later due to injuries, and more are still in critical condition.
Sadly, being surrounded by police is what they think drove him to start shooting.
Which raises a question that none have yet asked...
The police isolated him to a specific building. He hadn't started shooting until after he knew the police were outside. I could be wrong, but that's how it appears based on current reports.
For a security force that people are accusing of incompetence, they seem to have isolated one person on a campus of 25,000+ spread over 100 buildings on 2,600 acres.
I did notice, also, the irony that he was stopped with a single shot.
brien,
They know for sure that one of his guns was purchased legally.
The Decider,
It's called "staying on topic." The gun ban issue is irrelevant in this. Of greater concern is that his school record containing evidence of disturbing behavior is not subject to the weapons screening background check. What should also be an issue of concern is his motivation for deciding to start taking lives.
The fact that, in this country where a citizen's right to legally purchase a firearm is Constitutionally protected, gun bans are an irrelevant derailing. |
