Official: Washington School Shooter Lured Targets to Lunch

Still don't have motive for the shootings, though.

MARYSVILLE, Wash. -- Investigators say that a gunman responsible for a shooting at a Washington state high school on Friday invited his victims to lunch by text message.

Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary told a news conference Monday the five students were all at a lunch table when they were shot by 15-year-old Jaylen Fryberg.

Trenary also confirmed that the .40-caliber handgun used in the shooting had been legally purchased by one of Fryberg's relatives. It remains unclear how Fryberg obtained the weapon.

The sheriff said investigators continue combing through a massive amount of text messages, phone records and social media posts as they search for an explanation for the shooting - but he also says they may never find one.

Serious question: Is it customary to dig so deeply for a motive when there's nothing left to prove? If the shooter was an adult, would investigators still be "combing through a massive amount of text messages, phone records and social media posts?" How do they decide when the investigation is over?

You really are going for the crowd that can't do math, aren't you?

20017/68=294. 294 hours in a month? 73 hour work weeks is far from "a few hours"
