So it takes a LOT of effort to legally purchase a suppressor or weapon with an integrated suppressor like what was used.
You have to personally take special paperwork to your local Sheriff, and after an interview with them, the Sheriff has to sign the documentation.
Typically the questions are simple but most people do not want to go through this process.
Then once you have the paperwork, you PAY up front for the item which sits in a safe at the gun shop until the paperwork gets processed through the ATF, which can take anywhere from 90 days to a year. Yes, a Year.
So this guy paid $2000+ for a pistol he had to interview the Sheriff and wait a year to get AND they're trying to say they haven't identified him yet.
It's a very rare pistol, with a very rare and heavily tracked attachment which went through a heavily documented processes.
They have the guy's picture when he pulled his mask down to flirt w/ the hotel clerk.
If they can't find him they don't want to, so inside job. Or at least if they find him we'd never know about it.
You are assuming the shooter used legal means to acquire the gun and silencer. That picture is pretty curious to me. If he was going to shoot someone would he really show his face like that? Doesn’t make sense.

Yep.
Obviously bought on the street.
