Well, we got images of the primary suspect today, so I'm guessing we'll get more pics soon.

Here's what I think we know so far:

they did recover the gun - reports are saying it's a bolt action rifle, and this article claims to have a shot at the gun, which tracks with this article where a sniper guessed the caliber from the gunshot sound (allegedly a .30-06, which has a similar muzzle velocity and size as the .308 the sniper guessed)
the bullets were not engraved, though potentially marked w/ permanent marker or something - engraving takes a lot of work, and I doubt someone skilled w/ a firearm would bother
the primary suspect is the right person - they arrested/detained two others, and quickly let them go
they have some biometrics - I watched a report where they recovered palm, forarm, and shoe prints, no fingerprints as of yet

I'm guessing the perp isn't a student there, otherwise they would've been able to get a name from school records.

I guess we'll see how close I am, but in the meantime, I hope these sources are of interest to others.

Guesswork on the caliber based on 'sound' is entirely unuseful- silencers exist and acoustics are mysterious at the best times. Edit: since they apparently found the rifle, the chambering should be listed- guesswork is now totally obsolete.

And concerning engraving bullets: that would supremely fuck with the ballistics. You could engrave the case if you felt so inclined, I guess...
