I'm not sure it has to mean the others were there JI7 Jun 2016 #1

Sure it does RobertEarl Jun 2016 #6

Well, if there have been reports, then that must be it. LisaL Jun 2016 #8

How would cops know? RobertEarl Jun 2016 #13

There have been reports of multiple shooters in many other shootings. LisaL Jun 2016 #16

Convenient, isn't it? RobertEarl Jun 2016 #18

What are you implying? ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2016 #27

Eh? RobertEarl Jun 2016 #30

Yeah, no. ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2016 #35

Why so rude? RobertEarl Jun 2016 #37

You implied that there was a conspiracy. ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2016 #38

So, you play a mind reader on DU? RobertEarl Jun 2016 #40

probably just scare tactic to disuade people from trying to run. Takket Jun 2016 #3

It's absolutely astounding to me how many people think everything this madman said is true jberryhill Jun 2016 #29

Four of us left doesn't necessarily mean that four shooters are there. LisaL Jun 2016 #4

The witness was questioned specifically about that and he felt the meaning was clear, in context. JudyM Jun 2016 #14

It doesn't make the statement true jberryhill Jun 2016 #26

Um, yes. Of course. But there was no info at that point about being surrounded. The shooter was JudyM Jun 2016 #31

There was a guy on MSNBC that had a friend who was in the sufrommich Jun 2016 #5

There are other ways to interpret that statement. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #9

Yes, if he actually said that, he could have meant he is a member of the cell with 3 other members. LisaL Jun 2016 #10

Eyewitness memory in high stress unique situations are often bizarre. aikoaiko Jun 2016 #12
