Small town and nobody followed the guy? They can’t find him. And supposedly know who he is but won’t release the name
Uvalde was a thing, and that was in Texas. There is not a response team waiting to roll out in a small Maine town
C'mon. "Response team" in a ~50,000 people town/city area? With low crime rate as I understand it. People were trying to flee and stay alive, not watching where this guy went per se.
Yeah, I can't imagine a smallish town in one of the safest states in the country has a ton of people ready to respond to an active shooter situation that had multiple locations.
Then say that. I would guess as fast as they could? I also would expect those that are trying to avoid semi-automatic weapon fire are dodging bullets, not necessarily making a phone call. This is not some action movie with a "full body armored and outfitted response team led by Sylvester Stallone waiting to helicopter in on the bad guy".
One guy was hiding in the machinery that resets the bowling pins. Can hardly see where the shooter is going when you are up there.
Geez fellas. Just assuming a bunch of calls were made and the guy made a couple of stops. I wouldn’t think police would be more than 5 minutes away in a small town. I didn’t really mean people chase after him but making calls saying where he is and where he went.
Your implication, based on your posts, were that LEO were too slow and should have immediately responded and caught the guy. Maybe that wasn't your intent? But that is what you appeared to imply.
I do wonder how long it took, how many officers in the town there are, if there was a patrol near, etc.
I am probably not as invested as smiff, but especially following Uvalde, it's fair to have questions about the response.
