The dispatch error has people in this heartbroken neighborhood wondering if the mass shooting the following day could've been prevented.
"While it may have given us an investigative lead, the likelihood of cutting off what happened later... we just don't know," said Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw.
Dahl-Campbell said when 911 calls are received, the system identifies a location for the caller. Dispatchers have the option of automatically transferring that location to dispatchers, but in this case and in most cases, the operator inputs the location by hand. Investigators say it appears the same weapon was used in the attacks. He had previously said both the AR-15-style weapon and a handgun found on Carriker after the shootings were self-manufactured weapons also known as ghost guns.
Officers said witnesses and video of the attack indicated the suspect went to several locations while wearing a ski mask and body armor, carrying the AR-15-style rifle and shooting people and moving cars at random.
