Towards the end of the article it’s also mentioned a list of politicians was found in the shooters car. The names of both politicians he shot were among the names on the list.
If they found his car they must know who he is and what he looks like. Shouldn’t they be putting his picture on the news?
Not necessarily. Could be a stolen car. Balance of probabilities says you’re right and they know exactly who they’re looking for. Maybe they’re bad actors, maybe they’re trying not to have another Reddit “Mission Accomplished” moment, or maybe they’re incompetent.
But they saw him, they have a car, and presumably they caught him on body cam so they can compare his image to the image on the driver’s license the car is registered to. Maybe they’re taking those steps, but I doubt it. But it’s funny that they had descriptions of who they believe to be Luigi up pretty quickly but this remains a mystery man and they’re urging people not to go to the No Kings protest. A cynical person would say it’s a cop that did the shootings under orders to get rid of the one seat majority and quell the protest all in one blow.
Good thing I’m just a drunk and have never had thoughts like that.
ETA: they’ve released an identity. Cynics (definitely not harmless drunks like me) may have jumped the gun. But I’m sure that if they were here they would not apologize for what totally doesn’t look like a two birds with one stone issue.
Looks like the police have released the shooters identity now. https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/57-year-old-suspect-sought-in-targeted-shootings-of-minnesota-state-lawmakers/
