I've already said you're free to do so.

A monologue is your best bet to be the smartest contributor to a
thread. The downside, of course, is that you don't get to demonstrate
your mastery of humble condescension. I'll bet with a bit of practice
you could work it in though. I'll just stay quiet and we'll all watch
a master at work. You'll have this whole thing resolved long before
the police.

John, the question was not rhetorical. Or did you forget to answer?

So you will stop your speculation, and wait for the facts to come out?
Instead of speculating that she was "looking for trouble" by "hanging
out with the shooters"?
