FBI and Utah Police Cancel Press Conference due to Developments in the Case

[Prairie Gates]

A news conference with the F.B.I. and Utah police officials was just canceled, about 20 minutes after it had been scheduled, because of “rapid developments” in the investigation, according to Hillary Koellner, a spokeswoman for the Utah Department of Public Safety. She said the news conference would be held later today.

I'm going to guess we either have a name or a person in custody.

1. Or...they had a story and then learned something that blew it out of the water.

Back to the drawing board.

4. My first thought. Shooter might not be a suitable suspect.

5. When they do find a suitable suspect, he'll be shot "trying to escape." Case closed!!11!1!!11

3. I was thinking the FBI needs lots of help if they are releasing

6. They said it isn't due to a person in custody

It is unclear why officials delayed a news conference that was scheduled to begin right about now, but a spokesman for the Utah Department of Public Safety just told me that no one is currently in custody.
