The employee asks the man to lower his face mask, which is when the photos released by authorities on Thursday were captured, the official told CNN. “He lowers the mask, and gives that big smile,” CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller said. The suspected gunman traveled on a Greyhound bus that started its route in Atlanta, multiple law enforcement sources told CNN. Law enforcement sources told CNN that the suspected shooter appeared to wear a mask throughout most of his stay at the hostel. A fingerprint was lifted from the water bottle, a law enforcement official told CNN.
