That is all I want to know. Tell me the fingerprints on the gun Aaron Quentin Winchester supposedly pulled on Officer David Jester belonged to Winchester, and Winchester alone, and our investigation is over. If both Jester and Winchester’s prints are found, we need to dig deeper. If just Jester’s — hey now.
Meanwhile, trace the gun. I want to know where it came from — was it stolen? Reported missing? By whom? Did Winchester buy it?
In other words, start with the simple stuff and do not get distracted by hype. Yes, I would prefer that the SBI was on the case, but even if not, there is a way to resolve this incident — and a way to obscure it. Charlotte does not need another Wayne Furr case, where the public was never told exactly where the officers were when the shooting took place.
