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.
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.

There are countless ways to conceal a weapon, even a long gun.
Yeah, not flying across rooftops.
But why? What possible benefit would there be beyond one more possible way of being caught?
Bullet to gun
Gun to owner
Gun to shooter
Standard evidence trial
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.)
