Just thinking about the DNA swabs, which is obviously an encouraging development.

I think he either discarded an item at some point, or perhaps more likely, DNA was recovered from the shell casings (he'd have touched them while loading the magazine).

Sorry if I missed it, just joining this here on WS.. is there a map available with shooting location and POI locations in videos?

Yes! Scroll up the thread a few pages.

I made this based off of the last set of videos released. I think the shooting actually happened on the north side of the building, but I haven’t had a chance to go back and fix it yet.

I sense a major update.
An FBI evidence search team are scouring a building, a building which they originally rushed to. They also are looking for a second person ‘who was in close proximity of the suspected gunman, and they have very clear pictures. They have a DNA swab. Many here observed what we believe may have been two different men. They are hosting a news conference at 4pm.

So, recall some of the first videos with the suspect walking with his hands behind his back. That video was at 2:08:45 to about 2:09:07 and he's looking back toward where person #2 would have possibly dropped something. He's on that corner with the sign he was pretending to read and he keeps looking around the corner toward that area. I am wondering if that is when person 2 could have been dropping something he was looking to see.

Well let's see if this works.

What is a positive that we can tell from the videos they have shared is if a drop was made in that yard/area then they likely have video of it because we can see from the video of him running and person 2 running that the yard area on that property has video.

Is that the same fence as in the images of Person #2?

It is so person 2 was capture just around the corner. The man here is walking on one side of this building and around the corner is the side of it. See if this map opens up for you to the spot. The man is standing on Benevolent and around the corner on Cooke is where the camera catches person 2 walking and also the still photo they shared.

Interesting footwear on 2nd person request for help to identify, not clear enough to really determine but would like to see them up closer.

They look like winter crocks to me.
Purple with white stripe.
I noticed that in some countries they are popular all year round.
(But not where I live )
