It Doesn't Look Like The Shooter And The Bomber Are The Same Person To Me

[WillyT]

Take another look at the video, especially as they play it on CNN. To me it looks like the shooter is on the left side of the car and too the rear when he raises, and I assume, shoots the gun.

But also pay attention to the two guys hanging onto the back of the car. They seem to get shoved forward simultaneously, and then the camera goes red\down. I'm thinking this is from the force of the explosion coming from the rear of the car, not the left side.

If the explosive force had come from the shooter, the two guys on the back of the car would have been thrown to their right.

Anybody else see what I'm talking about?

1. The two on the rear of the vehicle are reacting to

hearing the shots, I think. Also, they could have lunged forward coinciding with the driver of the SUV braking in response to the sound of the shots.

I wonder if those two guys riding on the back were killed or if one or both survived. No word on this that I can find.

2. Pardon my ignorance, but...

... is anyone seriously suggesting that the shooter and bomber were one and the same? I guess I took for granted that there were two assailants at least.

Oh yeah, I forgot. She just bumped her head. Never mind.

3. early reports said the shooter shot...then blew himself up

[WillyT]

4. Those Were The Original Reports I Believe

Shot her, then blew himself up.

5. That was the initial report...a gunman fired 3 shots and then blew himself up.

But, then again, if she died from bumping her head, maybe the gunman never existed, so that would mean there was a 2nd person/bomber!:crazy: Pay NO ATTENTION to those 3 gunshots you hear being fired. They never happened.

8. Thanks all. I guess I found that scenario so far-fetched...

... that I tuned it out immediately.

Thanks for reminding me that that was the official story.

6. My take is that the shooter was there to finish the job after the bomb blast

caused panic and confusion.

7. Except That The Bomb Might Have Taken The Shooter Out...

before he could finish the job.

It sure knocked the cameraman down.

9. My thought was shoot first, bomb second.

Shooting has more accuracy. Bombing obscures evidence, creates chaos, prevents rescue.

I haven't seen any videos. I just think that shooting then bombing makes more sense to achieve the desired result.

10. And if someone hires a delicate hit, it would be prudent to hire a hit on the hitman

It happens.

11. I fully agree. Covering tracks.

Eliminate the loose ends. Cut down on the number of conspirators, potential talkers.

12. I think there were two gunmen, side by side,

It looks to me that two guns were fired. The suited arm fired shots 1 and 3. The second gun fired the middle shot. They were exactly side by side.

I can't tell anything about the bomber.
