Let&#x27;s be frank : the probability it&#x27;s a &quot;she&quot; is so close to 0 that we can say &quot;he&quot; without passing for horrible misogynists ;-)
And I think that the older girl (the one that was shot and beaten) talked about a &quot;bad guy&quot; in her statement btw.<p>I think not picking-up the brass doesn&#x27;t mean anything : you can find the imprint of the barrel&#x27;s grooves on the fired bullets (unless they are too deformed by the impact, but would you bet it on all 21 bullets ?) so the gun will be identifiable even if they don&#x27;t have the brass.
