Wow! I’m shocked he survived and is recovering and having rehab already!

Below are two timelines from two local news sources. Both have police arriving in the neighborhood at 5:20, within seven minutes of the first 911 calls. Both have first responders not on the scene with James, however, until 7:40PM.

Looking back at the coverage and then rereading the Daily Mail piece that said "police had yet to arrive on the scene," I think that was just bad writing. It seems like when she did get home, she was the first on the scene inside her own home only. Police who were going door-to-door earlier would not have gotten any response from her house. Going forward, it will be interesting to focus on the other son's recovery and other details that come out.

I guess police can't say much pending the possible recovery/future trial of AT. But are we gonna get any more public info on what they found in his home (weapons? add'l ammo? notes? drawings? diary? journals?). I think this should be made known ... it certainly has been in previous mass shootings or school massacres.

Also, wonder what say the parents and their lawyer have in publicizing such discovery?

 

[dgfred]

Yeah... depressingly uninformative. What is the harm of giving his exact injuries? We could likely figure out what type of weapon hit him in the head?

 

[MimosaMornings]

Is there a gag order in place? The news has been devoid of any updates.

My question as well. I've never seen such a lack of reporting and information being released on a mass shooting. Very strange.

 

[Stunned]

My question as well. I've never seen such a lack of reporting and information being released on a mass shooting. Very strange.

Because of the shooter’s age?

 

[Laughing]

Because of the shooter’s age?

Likely imo

 

[sallye818]

It seems like most of the school shooters are young, and we usually hear much more than we have this time.

 

[dgfred]

They usually don't hesitate to say self-inflicted regardless of age. I don't understand this.

Hedingham community outraged after mass shooter trick-or-treater strolls through neighborhood

Angel Turner told CBS 17 she was in her garage with her daughter and neighbor when they saw a person walk down the street wearing army fatigues.

“One person in Raleigh’s Hedingham neighborhood said she’s outraged after seeing someone dressed up in a mass shooting suspect costume for Halloween.

Angel Turner told CBS 17 she was in her garage with her daughter and neighbor when they saw a person walk down the street wearing army fatigues.

“On the shirt it said mass shooter’s lives matter. He had a skeleton face paint, his hands and neck were painted black,” Turner said.

It was a sight she did not want to see just three weeks after losing her neighbors in the Raleigh mass shooting.

“He got to the driveway, he pointed an object that looked like a gun or a rifle,” Turner said. “He pointed it at us and I heard like a flash bang pop and that’s when we all were pretty nervous.”

She quickly called police who responded to the neighborhood. Turner said that weapon ended up being a broom.

Turner also said the police officer who responded was unable to do anything.

“He asked him for his identification, the person didn’t want to give him his identification, so there was nothing he could do,” Turner said.”

Wait so if the police ask you for identification and you don’t want to give it, you don’t have to and you’re free to go?

Sounds like it. Maybe because you’re not doing anything wrong? Learn something new every day!

The Raleigh Police Department also issued a statement to CBS 17:

“The Raleigh Police Department (RPD) understands the lasting impacts of the October 13 mass shooting in the Hedingham community. The RPD received multiple calls regarding this individual, and several officers responded to the call within a few minutes. The subject was thoroughly investigated. The officers determined that the subject was not carrying a real weapon and did not deem him a threat. This subject’s costume and demeanor were insensitive and reprehensible but not criminal. The RPD appreciates the vigilance of the community members who called 911 and continues to urge all to call 911 when they see or hear anything suspicious.”

I'm in Raleigh this weekend. This case has been on my mind a lot.

What this kid did was indeed insensitive and stupid. He is lucky, with nerves still on edge in this neighborhood, that he didn't become a victim of violence.

It is time to release details of this event publicly...or maybe we are now seeing potential for a trial since the shooter has made this miraculous recovery.Raleigh mass shooter suspect condition injuries

How sad that he can be moved, and one of his victims is still in the hospital trying to return to some sense of normalcy
