But after arriving on the site with the shooter, his weapons and the body armor?
From what I heard the Dayton Police Chief say at the 4PM Eastern Presser yesterday:
- the 3 of them arrived in the same (his father's) car
- the shooter separated from his sister and other companion shortly after arriving at the downtown scene
- during the time they were separated, the shooter donned his body armor and picked up his rifle
- sister and companion were not the first people shot... one other person was shot in an adjoining alley before the shooter moved out onto 5th Street...
- sister and companion were amongst those shot out on 5th Street.... where the shooter was quickly taken down by police (sister among the 8 killed on 5th Street, companion shot but not killed, has been interviewed at hospital, will be interviewed further)
- reporter asked Chief if the body armor and weapons were transported in the vehicle.... he hesitated.... then said that he didn't have all of that information processed for release at this time... (beyond the rifle the shooter used, a shot gun was found in the trunk of the car)
(My assumption was that the two weapons and vest were in the trunk of the car.)
