At each ofthe 50 or so press briefings since the firstshooting, officials have agonized over what effect public statements may have on the shooter. Hopefully, Montgomery County police chief Charles Moose told TIME, "Nobody ever has to live with the fact that maybe something they did kept this person or these people out there any longer than they have been." In 16 hours, Moose encountered almost three times...
