Overview
- Officials reported the shooter fired 103 rounds and brought 10 weapons, roughly 7,500 rounds of ammunition and about 100 pounds of Tannerite that a bomb squad later detonated.
- Investigators corrected the scene narrative, saying the officers were eating lunch when Michael Parker drove up and opened fire, then set scoped rifles near his car for a sustained attack.
- Five officers returned fire, striking Parker about a dozen times and killing him at the scene, according to Elyria police.
- Elyria police said they have found no evidence he specifically targeted the two officers or even law enforcement and they are still reviewing his phone and devices for clues to motive.
- The coroner cited a medical history of paranoid schizophrenia as police noted Parker legally acquired the weapons over years, kept a larger cache than his family realized and arrived with a cart and cooler for a prolonged confrontation.
