Active Shooter Situation at Ohio State

[vorlon13]

shooter is dead (supposedly)

8 in hospital

He is???

One suspect is dead... but are there others???

News reporters reminded viewers in past shootings witnesses reporting the same individual frequently emphasize different details about the shooter resulting in confusion over the actual number of shooters.


My take:
If one caller reported a tall shooter and another reported an overweight shooter, you now would have evidence of 3 different shooters, one tall, one fat, and one tall and fat.  And that's from 2 calls.  Add another report of shooter wearing blue jacket and now you have 'evidence' of way more shooters, one regular size guy wearing a blue jacket, a tall one with a blue jacket, a fat one in blue, a tall and fat one in blue, and the first 3 from the first two calls. 

Easy to see how these things are always wrong as first reported, and it takes time to rule out all the permutations.
