He enters the cafeteria in a few seconds.

He enters the cafeteria in a few seconds. The tape is very bad so you don’t see it exactly. It’s filmed in time-lapse anyway. One picture every 1 second. Here he is. Everyone scatters. He’s shooting in a spray pattern. In a frame coming up you’ll see a kid on the left with a red shirt. The shooter spots him, aims, fires. His forehead blows out and he falls forward. The shooter keeps firing randomly for a few more seconds and then he stops. He spots a girl hiding under a table. He walks over and grabs her up. He sets down his rifle and pulls out a big hunting knife from his belt. The girl is struggling and trying to get away but he’s too strong. He pushes the tip directly into her throat. The next frame shows her head completely slumped forward because he cut her neck tendons. He then grabs his rifle and exits the cafeteria.

I’ve had to watch this tape countless times over the past few years. It replays nightly in my sleep. Everyone else has given up on finding this guy. I may not have that choice.
