In a worst-case-scenario, the shooter could have still manually inserted a single round into the breach, closed the bolt, and pulled the trigger.

I understand your point that this situation had the potential to be more vicious and terrible than a drunk driver, certainly I agree.

And how did the shooter kill himself if his gun jammed? Did he have another gun? Did he unjam his rifle?

@fidelityaxiom - go fuck yourself.

Why hasn't the press reported any of this?

My bet is that Homeland Security has hushed it all up. Just like they entrapped and framed that guy in Pioneer Square at Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. Homeland Security likes to terrorize the public every holiday.

Yes, this is all a huge conspiracy to cover-up the fact that... um... this was just a prank and... the police over reacted and... shot a bunch of people with ill-aimed rounds while trying to kill the poor innocent guy LARPing in the mask? Never mind the tens of witness accounts independently reported outside of police sources.

If you merely think the police shot this guy and are trying to cover it up, you're worse than a fool. If they had shot the shooter, the police would be glad-handing themselves all over the place and putting the hero-cop on display for all to see as proof to the people how important they are and thus deserve their salaries and benefits.

Here's a idea: try crawling out of your knee-jerk anti-police hole to gather actual information and then realistically process the data for what could be gained and lost by the various interpretations.

the shooter's name is mentioned twice in the article you're commenting on.

and being that this article is an update, it isn't rehashing all of the details that we already know -- but if you click on the first one of those weird groupings of blue words in the article (they're called a 'links'!), it will magically take you to a previous article that notes that the shooter died of self-inflicted wounds.

@Geez, @Raymont, et al - I'm sorry you find my comments so offensive or noxious, but that's not going to prevent me from contributing to the market place of ideas, especially when so many people do, and their contributions are irrational or impractical. I’m not that hardheaded where I automatically dismiss rational, educated, and compelling contributions. I’m just trying to point out the ones that are plainly worthless.
