Jonesboro. March 1998
--"According to witnesses, many of the students knew immediately who was responsible for the shooting, and they told their teachers when they reached the safety of the gym, naming Andrew Golden, Mitchell Johnson, and a third shooter, reported to be an older student at a nearby high school."

--"A teacher who was with the children in the school gymnasium immediately after the shooting stated emphatically: The boys hadnt been arrested at that time. [All the kids in the gym] were crying and they knew [who had done it]. Actually they said it was Mitchell Johnson, another person, and Andrew Golden. They said there was a third person who to this day and [as long as I live], I will believe there was a third person."

--"The possibility of a third shooter was apparently investigated by the police and found to have no merit, but some of those who were in the line of fire still believe that a third shooter, situated on a hill near the elementary school nearby, was involved and eluded capture. Some community members also speculated that a third person, perhaps someone older, had helped the boys plan the event or had discussed it with them. This issue apparently was not part of the investigation."

--"Denise Hoffman, 15, and five of her fellow students saw what occured. There were two masked men, both about 5'9". One of them had a weapon strapped to his back and was shooting with his pistol. The other one only had a pistol. "One of the two", remembers Steffen Holzhauser, 15, "followed us out to the school yard and ran away. I didn't see where. But not back into the school." " (Thuringer Allgemeine Zeitung 4-27-02)

--"Up to the evening of the attack, police were looking for a second gunman, who the students spoke of. Did he exist? Or did everyone just see Robert Steinhauser, though seemingly everywhere at the same time?" (Stern 20/2002)

--"The police first concentrated on securing every corner of the school. Witnesses told of a second shooter...." (Thuringer Allgemeine Zeitung 4-29-02)

-- "A few teachers and students are certain that there was a second shooter, who escaped with the fleeing students, who now apparently freely roams the streets of the city. One source was a group of 7th graders who fled to the basement library and who told of two masked gunman holding pistols, one of whom had something strapped to his back(the shotgun, presumably). One was wearing light-colored clothing, the other one wearing dark clothes."(Spiegal, 19/2002)
