Well, it turns out that all of the assumptions that I made about this case, based on the early press reports I found, have been proven to be totally incorrect and wrong. Everything that I claimed earlier, has now been proven to be bogus.
The early widespread reports in the media that there were two shooters has been proven to false and not accurate. It turns out that there was really only one single shooter.
Likewise, the early report that one of these suspects was a university student from Morocco, was equally invalid. It turns out that this young man that was taken into custody, who has since been identified as being Mohamed el Kadir, has been cleared by Canadian authorities of any wrong doing.
Police say that the sole person responsible for the massacre is a 27 yr old Quebec native by the name of Alexandre Bissonnette. He apparently wore a black mask and shouted "Allahu Akbar" in order to throw off the police, and trick them into thinking that a Muslim had committed the crime.
Here is what Bissonnette looks like:

So to summarize: I jumped to totally invalid conclusions, based on early press reports that have since been proven to be false or inaccurate.
I now find myself to be in a most compromised position:

You're man enough to admit you got suckered. Happens to the best of us. I learned to not trust "early hours" initial reports on developing news stories like this. There are just to many unknowns...both "known unknowns" and "unknown unknowns" in Old Rummy's memorable parlance.
