Shortly after 1am this morning on East Fifth Street in the city’s Oregon District of Dayton Ohio, a lone gunman opened fire killing nine people and wounding 27. The shooting suspect has been identified as Connor Betts, 24, of Bellbrook Ohio [identified by local residents as a “disturbed” individual]. Two of the deceased victims were the shooters sister and her boyfriend.
Officers killed the lone suspect after he fired for less than a minute from a “.223 high-capacity” rifle, while carrying additional magazines. The rifle has been identified by local officials as an “AK” variant. Deb Decker, public information officer for Montgomery County, said the shooter used an assault rifle.

Officials said the shooter fired multiple rounds as the suspect was making his way toward a bar called Ned Peppers. Someone from Ned Peppers grabbed the barrel of the rifle, and the shooter “picked up a handgun and was willing to continue shooting.” Decker said when police arrived and killed the shooter.
Problem with Dayton Reporting:
Police said Dayton shooter was stopped in 30 seconds, but managed to fire 41 rounds in that period of time.
The cyclic rate of fire of an AR-15 rifle is 45 rounds PER MINUTE, not 45 rounds every HALF minute. The amount of time the shooter was active is wrong, or the number of rounds fired is wrong.

AR-15 cyclic rate of fire:

Number Killed and Wounded–36 with 9 killed, 27 wounded.
This is a rate of 89% hits out of 41 shots fired in 30 seconds. Anyone want to rethink this? Maybe give the shooter more time than 30 seconds? I think maybe someone ought to say, “In the fog of war, I miscalculated. He must have had more time.”
The narrative needs “repaired.” At best, it is inaccurate. Let’s see what they do.
