I'm guessing someone who knows him called in a tip. Maybe a close family member? JMO

I'm wondering if the person who sold him the gun and ammo this morning called it in as a tip? idk

Near the Daniel Boone Nat'l forest... lots of trees/forest areas, little hills and valleys in all directions.

Looking at the terrain, I'm impressed that LE seems to be closing in on the suspect. Not an easy job, for sure.

Wouldnt there be a database of gun sales?

Definitely possible.

Could also be that a family member was disturbed when they found out he bought this stuff earlier today. (I hope his family is safe.)

Sure, but LE wouldn't immediately know the shooter bought the supplies this morning. The seller would.

Of course, I have no idea if the seller did call a tip. Just guessing.

ETA: this is for the helicopter of the Kentucky state police

I'm concerned about booby traps or some sort of plan to "go out" in way that will hurt others.

I'm thinking this purchase was flagged, and someone phoned it in when this happened.

'Some of these officers are very well trained and experienced... a few give me pause. They seemed to have narrowed down search areas fairly quickly.

Yes, it dropped offline for a few seconds.

Hopefully police will be able to resolve this peacefully!

 

[fred&edna]

I still don't think they know where he is.

From what I can tell, the Air Evac Lifeteam continues to drop possible victims at the University of Kentucky area hospitals.

My opinion only--this is such a fluid situation; it's difficult to tell what's going on.

I agree. They were for the longest time on the north side of 75 however now they’re on the south.

Another medical helicopter has popped up on Flightradar24--very concerning.
