The suspect is still at large - officials earlier said they found a high-powered rifle in woods near where Kirk was shot.

Also, “high powered rifle” essentially means “not a 22”.

    I saw a theory the other day that there was no tip from an McDonald’s employee. The authorities might’ve used some illegal surveillance to find him and just said it was a tip from an employee to avoid acknowledging that.

      Which is funny because his lawyers will definitely ask for this info in discovery and it will come out anyways. Also if they found him using illegal tech they could argue it in his favor.

        That’s why they were trying to push the McDonald’s narrative, they probably just couldn’t find a patsy to take the heat there.

        The existence of “stingrays” (fake cell towers used to surveil protesters and others) was made public due to legal discovery.
