Investigators obtained clues including a palm print, a shoe impression and a high-powered hunting rifle found in a wooded area along the path the shooter fled. But they had yet to name a suspect or cite a motive in the killing.

      .30-06 can be pretty heavy and also found at most lawnsales if that is in fact the type of rifle used. I’d leave that shit right where it was too

        So then what about those photos of the “person of interest”? He wasn’t carrying a rifle or anything else… I’d expect to see him carrying the rifle or something of similar shape/size. If those were from before the shooting then how did he get the rifle up to the roof? If they were from after the shooting then how did the rifle get to the woods where it was found?

      Why would they carry the weapon and run? It draws attention and helps more easily ID the shooter later. Ditch the gun and act like any other scared attendee running away.

              Good call, carrying the gun on your person instead makes more sense.

              Why would they use a gun registered to them? Untraceable gun + no fingerprints + left at the scene = no actionable evidence.

              Carry the gun with you, get stopped by a cop during the massive manhunt = get caught

              Realistic TV shows and films will do exactly this (like Godfather, The Sopranos, The Wire, etc.)
