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”.

    Lol whut. Maybe you are just joking, but finding a random rifle isn’t exactly just a common occurrence. They’re expensive and it’s not like people who own them like to leave them in the woods for storage.

      Sure, but the video shows the gunman running away without a rifle, and dropping from the roof again, without a rifle. It shows a backpack that is far too small to conceal a rifle in the hands of the gunman- so did they cover it in a white towel and throw it into the woods from the roof or what? Lots of things aren’t adding up yet, and I’m the first person to decry blueanon conspiracy theories.

        Rifles can be disassembled. This is what Ear Shooter did to get in. I’m still curious to know how long it takes to pull an old Mauser down to backpack size.

            “Older model Mauser 30-06.” Would that break down small enough to fit in a backpack? I know it’s hard to say without more specifics, but I’m real curious.
