OUR CRIME LAB HASN’T BEEN HERE, BUT BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF ROUNDS AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF WEAPONS OUT THERE WITH EXTENDED MAGAZINES, IT WOULDN’T SURPRISE ME WITH THE DIFFERENT SWITCHES THAT ARE OUT THERE. I. WE DON’T WE DON’T KNOW YET. I DOUBT IT WAS A DRIVE BY BECAUSE IT WAS TOO MANY. THERE’S TOO MANY CASES. THEY MAY HAVE BEEN IN A VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF CASINGS BACK IN THERE. CRIME SCENE.
