32. Makes me wonder about the incident at the party before

the shooting part. I wonder if there was another person at the party who was on to them and was either not willing to participate in some plot or was about to expose them..? Rather than being insulted by someone or something as seemingly trivial. If there was someone else aware of their bomb factory or collection of armaments and possibly previously intending to be a participant... Seems they had other targets in mind and maybe someone at the party, who is probably dead now, had threatened the original plan.

Seems a little more plausible, to me at least.
