"The assassin
may have sped away on a motorbike,
dressed all in black
with aviator sunglasses, a black mask, black tactical helmet and a long rifle,
chilling police radio recordings suggest.

The gunman was initially spotted
'just east' of the university library,
but dispatchers later revealed authorities
'have cameras that show he left campus'.

'Possibly wearing a tactical vest and jeans',
and 'shoulder length hair'."
