The suspect is still at large - officials earlier said they found a high-powered rifle in woods near where Kirk was shot.
Also, “high powered rifle” essentially means “not a 22”.

Considering the photos from the stairwell don’t show him with a gun, that’s an acceptable theory.
New photos show a backpack, room enough in there for a disassembled Mauser 30.06.
I’ll be honest, I’ve never disassembled a Mauser, but I can say, just the wood furniture alone on my Remington 721 .30-06 would not fit in a backpack.
Maybe the specific model he used is different? I dunno. My mares’s leg would fit in a backpack, but not a long rifle.
I’m also curious about how long it takes to pull it down to backpack size.
And the way they were talking about it being found, no mention of the backpack, why would he take the rifle (parts) out of the backpack and leave them in the woods if they were already hidden in a backpack? Why not just … keep walking with a backpack?
