[QueenD]

the person the badge belonged to is being questioned by LE

I thought that person was deceased?

 

[Softail]

I thought that person was deceased?

No. The shooter used the id of a former employee. The former employee is being questioned. The shooter is dead.

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

I thought that person was deceased?

Did the now deceased shooter use someone else's badge... Since he had recently become a Civilian Contractor?

:dunno:
