Shooter arrived on campus on Wednesday 11:52 AM local time. He climbed the staircase to the roof and opened fire at 12:20 PM.
Suspect is male, college aged, with black hair. Was wearing Converse shoes, a cap, and a shirt with an American flag and an eagle on it.
Current suspect is 28 or 29 years old.
A church minister who works with law enforcement got the suspect's father to get said suspect to turn himself in.
Gun used is a Mauser .30-06 bolt action rifle.
Shooter was "probably a hunter" (quoting the FBI)
If he is caught, it is likely that he will get the death penalty. (also quoting the FBI)
Initial "person of interest" turned out to be a dead lead.
~~Utah officials have "no idea" if suspect is still in the state.~~

these are two different guys, no? the first guy has a bag, but the guy on the roof jumped off with a rifle case. also why would he return to go indoors when he could just leave?

they're never catching this guy lmao

to be fair, a lot could've happened in between the guy jumping off the roof and the security footage pictures we were given. again, no timestamps anywhere. no way to know where the security footage was filmed and what happened between the kill and the pics. the backpack could've been stashed somewhere for his getaway to get later, or the rifle somehow barely fit in the bag. not much can be picked out from a few pixels of a silhouette.

bro could be way out of utah at this point, so we may never find out.
