The shooter aimed for a headshot to create a spectacular visual rather than ensuring a quick death.

They want the JFK version. 2.0, whereas a true trained assassin wouldn't go for a headshot. A true trained assassin, someone wants to do it, they're looking for a death shot. They're looking for something that has finality to it. And it's not hard to hit a human being at 130 or 150 yards. You and I used to shoot together all the time. I remember us shooting Coke cans at seven and seven 50 untrained sitting in the front of the seat of a Jeep. So it's really not a hard thing. You and I both have shot pistols that far on, on a regular basis. So that's not the case. I think that they wanted to show the world something ugly and something nasty and something evil. So they went for a headshot.

The shooter planned to detonate explosives to prevent first responders from reaching the scene.

He was going to assassinate Donald Trump. And then when people try to respond, whether that's first responders, the fire trucks, the paramedics, the other police officers, all that, they're going to have to drive past that vehicle to come in. He was either going to then detonate that vehicle to create enough of a diversion for him to get away, or he was going to do it to where no one could get in to help. And that creates an environment where a shooter can then continue to cause chaos.

A 20-year-old nurse technician could not have known how to create an IED without external instruction.

What does a 20-year-old kid who's a nurse technician or something like that, whatever they made up he does for a living, how does he know how to create an IED? How does he know what explosives are what and how they work unless he's been on the internet somewhere? So what's the internet at home? What's the internet on his phone? What's his search history? Who's teaching him these things?
