I stepped through the video

Shooter is clearly the guy suddenly standing up and running away toward the camera, dressed in a tan coat, black tee shirt and a tan baseball cap

You can clearly see his handgun in his right hand through the windows of the car in front of the scene

He runs off fast, camera-right, straightening his mask over his face

I will *not* link back to the video

On Martin Luther King Day, here's a @Flipboard Storyboard from @Newsone@flipboard.com with suggestions for how to make an impact and more, including a story on how we can use MLK's legacy to explain the differences between hope and optimism. "Long-term hope is not about looking on the bright side. It is a mindset that helps people endure challenges, tackle them head-on and keep their eyes on the goal — a virtue that King and other community leaders exemplify," writes Kendra Thomas.
