As someone who works at Walmart near where the shooting occurred, this was one of the most terrifying nights of my life. We had to go into lock down

Sweating, running shirtless into the woods? Sounds like there could be a "meth"od to this guy's madness.

“…AR-15-STYLE WEAPON AND LOADED MAGAZINES FOUND IN WOODS…they saw somebody run to the woods. No shirt, sweating profusely…” city people running in the woods for their lives will often drop their heavy loads and remove clothing when they get hot forgetting that at night it gets cold, they have no outdoor experience.

Guns dont kill people, but like, if he didnt have a gun he wouldnt have shot 5 people from the side of the highway. He could throw rocks... and people wouldnt be half a mil in the red with hospital bills.

I bet that he gets away if he has wooded survival skills.

The guy buys an AR-15 without sighting in the rifle and starts shooting the rifle right out of the box long distances. If wasn’t luck that no one was killed, the guy was incompetent with firearms; most crazy people used the AR-15 close range.

My 7 Possible Theories: Why Law Enforcement Can’t Find The Suspect yet:
*The Suspect left his weapon near the scene for 2 possible reasons:
(1) He left the weapon to go off and commit suicide, because, he’d rather die than spend life in prison. I find that hard to believe given his qualifications: background in the military, a National Guard.
(OR)
(2) The Suspect deliberately left his weapon near the scene so law enforcement would find it, so they would think he is still in that area. So, while they waste time looking for him in this wooded area, he has already stolen a vehicle and is long out of the county. This guy was a national guard and worked in the military, which means he has excellent survival skills, use to dealing with the natural elements in rough terrain. That is if he is even in the woods.
(OR)
(3) He is in the woods and is already dead for the following 4 reasons:
1. he committed suicide, not to clear his conscience, but to avoid prison or
2. he was attacked by a pack of coywolves and all the evidence is fully digested for except the rifle, ammunition, bag of supplies, or
3. he stopped to take a drink at a pond, in the woods where a 10 ft python ate him, then minutes later both were eaten by a 13ft alligator. Background details: Both of these exotic creatures were illegally smuggled into Kentucky years ago from the Florida, Everglade. The owners, unknown to each other, at some point released their pet into the wild.
OR
(4) The suspect possibly belongs to a far-right-extremist group. Part of his initiation was to carry out a terrorist mass-shouting. It was already prearranged for him to leave the weapon near the scene as a deliberate distraction to throw law enforcement off course. After the mass-shooting he was conveniently picked up and transported to the group’s secret compound. He is already in a completely different state, and well hidden. Hopefully this is not correct.
(OR)
(5) The suspect forced himself into the car occupied by someone on a road and forced them to drive him away. He is hiding out in their dwelling which is nowhere near the woods
(OR)
(6) The suspect was in the woods, but hid in the back of one of the many camping trailers, or trucks coming in and out of the woods daily, unknown to the driver and passenger. They drove out the woods, after reaching a certain distance, unknown to them he jumped out without being seen and then possibly may have broke into a vacant vehicle and is now in a different state.
(OR)
(7) He lifted the lid on a manhole and he is making his way through a network of underground tunnels. He is no longer in the county. Remember, these are just possible theories, which means not proven to be true. Let’s hope law enforcement finds the suspect(s) soon.

The police officers that are running this investigation really need media training. They are definitely are not prepared to discuss anything in an intelligent manner.

Makes no sense how they can’t find this guy in a wooded area when we have heat seeking drones

If he has buds and kinfolk in the hollers he can hideout for months. No Rambo qualifications needed

Takeing away guns won’t solve anything in fact it would probably start a civil war, what would help to resolve this issue would be more funding for mental hospitals and better help programs. But we have long been told these days would come. We are truly living in the end times.

Mental health questionnaire, "Do you own or want to own an assault-style rifle?" (Answer "yes" and you're a candidate for prolonged psychiatric treatment).
