I am curious why a border patrol team took the guy out. What was their jurisdiction in this matter? This town is not on the border and this kid from what I understand was a US citizen. I heard that law enforcement had possibly tried to engage him prior to him getting into the school - but what law enforcement agency was that? Was it the border patrol and he got away from them? After all, where in the hell does an 18 year old that was supposedly poor get weapons like that and body armor? Was this a Fed operation that went off the rails really badly? If it was a Fed operation, the local police would have been told to stand down. That could explain why they did nothing.

Not sure how they are going to weave the story if this is the scenario that took place. If the Feds had him under surveillance and in the process of that investigation let him get away and a bunch of people died because of it, damn. How much of the blame is local law enforcement willing to take if they were told to stand down and let the Fed boys handle it?
