photo on the floor is from the event, perp is alive and in custody, and press conference was already detailing charges against him. Arraignment Monday
use of firearm in violent crime charge suggests he did fire at least one of those shots. We had wondered if they were all coming from security

Thank you so much for the updates! I was certain he was dead. This will be interesting.

I’m super curious to see if he turns out to be a 30yo living with parents, or a person with patchy employment and no discernible explanation for how he affords his life ala Routh.
coin toss at this point.

Security footage
There’s of course tons of footage out there from the WHCD because hey, roomful of journos. Mostly just clanking dishes and people swearing and wondering what’s going on. Shooter never made it into the room, I think. Nobody hurt, one security shot but ballistic vest caught it (still hurts, but not fatal).
Here’s the actual disruption:

I count four, maybe five gunshots in the audio, but reckon they’re all outside the room. Everybody was slow to react because ambient noise so loud. Mostly didn’t register anything was going on until the music was turned off.

Sailer points out that for a Caltech engineering grad he seems to have fallen on hard times, working part time for a test prep agency.
Like all such things, we’ll probably know more in three days.
I kinda wonder if Caltech is one of those rumored spook recruiting schools.
