Gunman booked on aggravated assault? Why not attempted murder?
Probably charges will be upgraded. Need to have a means to keep him in jail while sorting things out... so placeholder charges that can be proven beyond a doubt for now.
Great F#cking question. Tons of ammo. He wasn't there to do "mostly peaceful" stuff.
Why not lying in wait too?
