It was one of the first things I noticed:
Police seized a folding knife and three guns from the scene, including a Colt .38 handgun, a Colt AR-15 rifle, and a shotgun. Two of the guns were found on the alleged gunman and one was recovered in a vehicle, according to police. The restaurant suffered at least $1,000 worth of damage to a door, door lock, computer tower, and barrier wall.

Problem:
"We need forensics experts to move in to the restaurant to clean up DNA, finger prints and evidence of a CP ring at CPP, but moving a hazmat team in will cause too much suspicion"
