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.~~

Lmao at all the "analysts" who thought hitting a stationary target from 200 yards meant it was a military trained professional assassin

for a country that gets high on owning guns, people really don't know jack shit about them.

i think that might actually be part of why they're like this
a lot of yankees own a lot of guns, but barely actually shoot them, so they think "it's really hard for me to get a decent grouping at that range, so it must be someone who is really good" when they hit the range for like an hour per week or something
