I haven't heard anything about the connection to the power outage on Eagle Hill. At the exact reported time of the shooting power went out on Eagle Hill for 5 minutes. I was told there were reports of a flaming utility pole at the same time on Falcon Street. Is this connected to the shooting? Is it possible this guy was climbing the utility pole and got electrocuted and made up the shooting story? This is really weird and I'd really like more info.
