-Caveat Lector- Well the various LEOs continued searching well into the night, but came up empty-handed...
For some reason the security cameras in the LOB garage didn't seem to provide anything helpful... But the next day we were told that the whole thing had been 'solved'...it seems a local cable-access station had a couple of cameramen shooting background shots of the state capital building for use on one of the local cable channel's shows, and we were told that what two separate witnesses reported as a man with a machine gun (or perhaps a 'long rifle', as described by the State Police spokesman on Wednesday afternoon) was really one of these cameramen... It was the cameramen who came forward suggesting that it was them who the witnesses had seen, this 'breakthrough' did not come via any LEO detection... They showed one of these cameramen with his equipment; even with a boom mike attached to the camera, I find it hard to fathom how anyone could have mistaken it for a machinegun....also one wonders why they'd need a boom mike on the camera, since they weren't shooting anything that needed sound, they were just taking background shots of the capital building, to be later used behind a 'talking head' on the local cable channel's news program... They also showed the video these cameramen supposedly shot, and the direction of the sunlight shows that the video had to have been shot some hours earlier in the day, in the mid-morning at the latest; they also were shooting from the top floor of the parking garage, on the 5th floor which is open to the sky. The 2 eyewitnesses both stated that they saw a gunman on the THIRD floor of the parking garage at a little after 1 p.m. The video that was broadcast allegeding to be what the cameramen filmed as background footage showed long shadows, which would not have been seen around midday; the length of the shadows suggested a time more probably around 10:30 or 11 a.m., definitely NOT the time of around 12:30 to 1 p.m. when they supposedly were shooting this footage... The earlier time makes more sense if one considers that they only wanted to get a plain shot of the capitol building, without a lot of traffic going on and people going in and out; at that time on Wednesday people were gathering for the governor's "State of the State" address, which started at noon and lasted 20 minutes. By 12:30, when these cameramen are claimed to have been shooting footage, a vast number of people were leaving the capital, going to lunch, etc. -- which means there should have been more vehicular traffic and definitely more pedestrians shown in the footage. Point of fact, there were absolutely NO pedestrians, and very little vehicular traffic shown... And as I mentioned, nothing has been said, let alone shown, of what the security cameras in the parking garage picked up; it seems to me that if the security cameras verified the alleged "the gunman was really a video cameraman" story, those security tapes would have been shown. Also what hasn't been explained is why we were told that the parking garage (along with the capital building and LOB) was put in 'lockdown mode' immediately after the eyewitnesses reported what they had seen, and we were assured that "no one could have left"...so what happened to these cameramen, who were supposedly shooting footage at the time? It seems to me they would have been found right away... June <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
