▶ this video Worth a watch if you are interested in this. He reconstructs the physical space and where the people were and moved over time using witness testimony.

This isn't that, but an excellent video on the events of the day, around the building, and left me thinking there could have been any number of other shooters; ▶ this video

When this happens you'll often find the conspiracy theory moves the goalposts from it being "im
