3. So suspect is on the lam and believed to be fleeing the area

Implies he had help fleeing, though I guess he could escape on foot in the middle of the night. He'd be found if he fled in his own vehicle. So are there accomplices? A network of true believers? Not one-off shooter like the average mass shooters, this was planned extensively. IMHO.
