If you live in Maryland, you have to be getting tired of the constant fear of the unknown. But what is really getting on my nerves is the media's absolute disregard for the facts.
The other day, NPR reported that the police would be able to have a composite of the shooter due to all the good witness reports, and that they actually have (don't remember the number) 11 (?) people under surveillance.
During the press conferences, the police said none of this was true.
I just heard a press conference today during which one of the detectives (or a higher up--I wasn't looking, only listening) said there are about 8 (?) different guns that use this type of ammunition (or something to that effect. I didn't know I'd need the details later, so...).
Then tonight on the news, the reporter said, "One thing is for certain: the bullets could have only come from one type of gun."
Sheesh.
