How many shooters?

[Boltlady]

My daughter-in-law has been staying with me for a bit and some 20 odd years ago she was in the military. She trained with guns and was rated 'expert' on pop-ups at 300 yards. She was familiar with all of the guns shown and had some questions we haven't seen answered.

How did one person do it? She said that it takes a lot of practice to have the ability to hit that many moving targets, particularly with a pistol, in such a short period of time. While there probably have been advances made in these weapons since her experience, there would have had to be some reloading going on for the sheer number of bullets. It has been reported that each person was shot several times. Granted, once they were shot the first time they probably weren't moving any more, but what about before that? So the question is, did they all line up waiting their turn to get shot?

We're picturing some scrambling going on because it's said that he went into two different rooms. It seems hard to believe that everybody was just holding still while it was all going on. I haven't really heard anything about the positions of the bodies and there were six adults who must have moved around some as others were being killed.

We're told that the shooter shot himself which they often do, but then why did he wear a bullet proof vest? Was there somebody else there who was helping with the shooting?

For some reason we're always presented with one bad guy in each horrific activity. There were witnesses who stated that several people were seen in conjunction with the Oklahoma bombing. That got ignored. There were witnesses who claimed that shots came from the opposite side of the theater in the shooting a few months back but that got ignored too. Another example was the shooting in Afghanistan where one guy was supposed to have killed some 16 people even though the locals stated that there were several shooters. In fact if you look back at many of these infamous acts you see that it was always attributed to one guy. Why?

These are just a few questions that nobody seems to be asking. Perhaps some of the gun owners here can provide answers.

Not sure what he used as some sources say he used a rifle and others say he used a hand gun (glock). My husband said he could have easily done it alone. You can kill god knows how many with an assault rifle but if he did indeed use 2 hand guns, they have magazines or clips which hold up to 17 rounds....that's 34 shots without reloading. He said it takes no time at all to "reload"...stick a new clip into the gun. And as far as how he could hit moving targets like that...read my post below about the victims being named. It gives a link to an article that tells us his mother taught him to shoot...and was an "avid" gun collector. If she weren't dead already she would/should be held accountable out of stupidity and negligence. You don't teach a troubled youth how to shoot to kill and then leave the weapons insecured. Crazy!!!!!

Bolt, the b-astard used an AK47, which has both single, and auto selection, and, normally takes a 30 round magazine. His targets, the young children, weren't 300yds away, they were in an enclosed space within feet of the shooter.

No conspiracy Bolt, just another festering American nut job out to get his 15 minutes of fame.

Thanks Wulk and to Nina too for your answers. It just seems like it would have taken some pretty fancy shooting, even at close range to pick off that many people.
