    Is there a source for them being rented from the same place? Seems like the kind of detail that probably wouldn’t be out there at the moment, even if true.

        It’s like every time there’s a school shooting they try and make a thing of it that they played video games.

      CNN mentions Turo - A ride rental service where you can put your personal vehicle up for daily rental.

      I haven’t seen it mentioned in relation to this incident though.

      If they were used for both vehicles; it’s probably just because it was a convenient way to get a vehicle. They probably have less hurdles than a typical rental service. I haven’t actually used or really looked into that service though, so I may be wrong there.

      I thought they were rented from the same company. Which is a bit like saying that a lot of bank robberies use the same ford truck. Yeah of course they do, because it’s big, reasonably fast, and commonly available.

      I really doubt it’s relevant.
