As much as I hate reddit, I usually go there since someone is always giving proper updates.

The guy bought an ar-15 and 2000 rounds literally this morning.

Also, anyone know how to spoiler, I forgot.

Here’s the top comment on the reddit thread:

Things I’ve heard on the scanner (all times ET):

8:30p: asking for an additional helicopter

8:40p: something about a female with prior military experience. Unsure if this was a victim or potential suspect. a female reported someone she knew threatening to shoot people today and had military experience (Thank you u/9leggedfreak)

8:46p: police know the suspect and confirmed they bought an AR-15 with 2,000 rounds this morning.

8:47p: multiple reports of gunshots at a new location (not sharing specifics for police security)

8:52p: second aircraft inbound

8:58p: they’re tracking the subjects cell phone and just got a ping on their location; directing aircraft

9:03p: sister of the suspect has called to ask for protection as the subject has threatened to kill his family members; location withheld for security.

9:04p: flashlights being seen by aircraft in the location where the cell phone pinged

9:07p: someone reporting the shooter is in their front yard

9:15p: suspicious vehicle (Chevy Equinox) found in the middle of the road

9:19p: trying to get the interstate open; sounds like it was overruled

9:22p: ten shots reported at a new intersection

9:23p: “front lawn” report clarified it wasn’t accurate and was “a shooting in the county”

9:25p: multiple callers reporting gunshots; police in motion

9:26p: the abandoned vehicle on Lily Rd was confirmed not to be the shooters (also thank you to u/PM_ME_GLUTE_SPREAD)

9:27p: “fog of war” is causing some confusion for responders; reconsolidating

9:30p: quite a bit of focus on a specific cell tower, presumably the same tower referenced from the cell ping and aircraft directions

9:31p: NYT is reporting 5 people shot on the highway. Victims are in stable condition per their report.

9:33p: another report of a strange person walking through someone’s property

9:48p: another report of the shooter near Bluegrass Rd in their front yard; police in motion

9:51p: sounds as if a request for additional help from an ancillary agency was denied; surprised the police lead given the circumstances
