[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The shooter waited 5 minutes in his location, not feasible on his own. Nobody gets that lucky. [/quote]

Ding, Ding, Ding!!
DCUM can’t handle it may have been suicide by hired gunman, huh?[/quote]

I saw two LE analysts, one FBI and one USMS, on TV this morning and they were both pretty adamant the shooter is not a professional.  [/quote]

Geee, shocking  :roll:

I said that the very first time I saw the video. A trained shooter isn’t going to use an untested gun+suppressor combination.  He was expecting that pistol to function, and it didn’t. Repeatedly. He had to cycle it by hand each time to get it to fire. So clearly he’d never practiced with that gun/suppressor even once, because had he, he would’ve learned then that it didn’t work. A professional killer wouldn’t take a chance like that. They would use something previously tested, with 100% reliability.

In other words, these LE analysts on TV are about as perceptive and knowledgeable as me, a guy who flies airplanes for living. [/quote]

That gun has to be cycled after every shot, just like a standard shotgun. It's actually a cool gun, based off of a WW2 pistol. The design + screw on suppressor makes it quiet, relative to a normal pistol. I had no idea either until I searched for the gun on YouTube.[/quote]

I'm interested in this.  I deal with a lot of gun crimes as part of my job and I'm struggling to understand why anyone would choose this kind of gun?  What's the advantage? 
 Why not get a 9mm Glock like every other criminal?  It seems like it dramatically increases the chance of getting caught.  [/quote]

Just a wild guess, but possible something to do with purchasing and/tracing of the gun.  If this is a WWII gun or even a WWII inspired gun, it may have been purchased a long time ago before modern tracking of gun purchases was in place, probably not something he personally owned but even so, his name wouldn’t be tied to it[/quote]

It's not a Welrod or clone of one. He ran the slide, not operated a bolt.[/quote]

NYPD believes it is a Welrod- for whatever that’s worth: https://abc7ny.com/amp/post/unitedhealthcare-ceo-shot-brian-thompson-killed-midtown-nyc-writing-shell-casings-bullets/15623577/[/quote]

That's a very comprehensive article. Thanks for posting.

I found this interesting: "They are checking every dispute or contested denial of service brought against the company..."

[b]With their denial rate, that is going to take forever.[/b][/quote]

That could take years to go through the last few years of denials. Also, dumb. It could be a patient’s relative. As the largest insurer, that’s millions of people. [/quote]
