He fired 200-400 times and hit 40 people. You'd think it would take 10 seconds to fire 50 bullets with an automatic gun, much less aiming and pulling a trigger. Why was there no cover for people to run to during the 10 seconds? If he had an automatic weapon and they were sitting in movie-theater style seats, it would be conceivable. Otherwise, the idea of a collaborator makes sense. a description of the building where the victims were standing would be helpful. He fired 200-400 times and hit 40 people.
