Well, we got images of the primary suspect today, so I'm guessing we'll get more pics soon.
Here's what I think we know so far:
I'm guessing the perp isn't a student there, otherwise they would've been able to get a name from school records.
I guess we'll see how close I am, but in the meantime, I hope these sources are of interest to others.
Edit: Looks like they got the guy (Tyler Robinson), and I was pretty close. Some details:
We'll probably learn a ton of additional irrelevant details soon. He doesn't seem like a crazy person, just likely radicalized by the internet.
Guesswork on the caliber based on 'sound' is entirely unuseful- silencers exist and acoustics are mysterious at the best times. Edit: since they apparently found the rifle, the chambering should be listed- guesswork is now totally obsolete.
And concerning engraving bullets: that would supremely fuck with the ballistics. You could engrave the case if you felt so inclined, I guess...
Nobody carves bullets, but most people would consider the casing part of the bullet. Journalists are often imprecise, especially with things they're not familiar with.
