    Still. A gradeschool jansport can carry those same things and can be bought at any walmart.

    Either way, my bet is this goes unsolved.

      One of the first news reports said the cops have him on video at a Starbucks just prior, so he left “forensic evidence” plus his face on camera.

      IF that’s true, they might get him. Anyone can buy a silencer with the right ATF background checks, so if he bought it legally, they’d likely have his prints.

      If he wasn’t at Starbucks, or had a mask, or wore gloves, he’s in the clear.

      Subsonic rounds with a silencer don’t necessarily short stroke the gun, but he looks like he practiced firing in that condition a lot. If he did indeed catch the casings, there won’t be a lot to catch him on. Maybe if he walks to a car later.

      If the cops are right, they’ll catch him. If they’re wrong, I agree he won’t get caught.
