Did he wear an explosive vest?

I thought I read that somewhere earlier.

If so, I'm a little.... surprised it never got used?

It's not being mentioned in the current reporting. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:14 8
- It looks like it's still unknown. I just found an article stating that during the event, he was telling PD that he had a vest on. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 10:16 7
  - I can't imagine why he might have lied about something like that... -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:20 6
    - I don't understand how lieing would have helped him in that scenario, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 10:21 5
      - Keeps the cops at bay of they think he might blow himself up and take the hostages with him. - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:23
      - "Come in and I blow up myself and the hostages" is a threat law enforcement would treat with caution -- nm - TWuG Jun 13, 10:23 2
        
        I realize we're still putting all the facts together, but this article disagrees. -- (link) - Strongbad Jun 13, 10:24 1
        
        And the shooter would have known that...how? -- (edited) - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 10:29
      - it discourages the cops from entering that space if they think he truly has a bomb strapped to his body -- nm - senor dentista Jun 13, 10:22
