Police still haven't named the weapon the latest shooter used [View all]

But they said that it was legally obtained, of course.

What's the fucking holdup in naming it? Why are they afraid of the public knowing what he used?

The doctors said people's bodies were "ripped apart."

So, name the weapon! What possible motivation do they have for keeping this under wraps?
