Team V prepared individual detailed reports related to all interviews conducted. Each of those interviews were summarized in a standardized format for quick reference of specific information. All victim/witness interviews were compared to the physical evidence ballistic reports, medical reports and autopsy reports for consistency where applicable. After analyzing the above investigative materials, an event summary was prepared describing each significant occurrence while the suspects occupied the library. The event summary is supported by 47 individual event diagrams. Various other diagrams were also prepared to identify each individual's location at the time of this incident, while other diagrams were utilized to identify the location of physical evidence.
