Episode notes
Shooter Conducted Pre-Op Surveillance Weeks Earlier
- The shooter's phone pinged the location on July 7, indicating pre-operation surveillance weeks before the event.
- Bongino frames this as classic pre-op behavior seen in many school shooters and assassins.
Roof Slope Impeded Counter Sniper Visibility
- The rooftop slope and line-of-sight issues impeded counter-sniper visibility and contributed to an 11-second delay in neutralizing the shooter.
- Bongino notes local snipers were positioned in second-floor windows rather than on the roof earlier in the week.
Theory Shooter Intended Mass Casualty Attack Then Changed Plans
- Investigators' working theory: shooter initially planned a ground-based mass-casualty attack but shifted to rooftop after police closed in.
- Evidence includes alleged ladder purchase attempts and the shooter's ground positioning targeting the crowd.
