   "Police believe...."   
      
   IOW, they didn't find one, they have no proof of one, they might not even   
   have a reasonable case to do so.   
      
   So what we actually have is supposition unsupported by facts, and that is   
   ASSUMING that the media actually reported the police's statements   
   accurately..   
      
   More likely some reporter asked a leading question like   
   "Reporter: Could a Glock switch have been used in this shooting"?   
   "Police: We are not ruling anything out at this time".   
      
   The news reports it as one was used or that Police believe one was used.   
      
   It's been done before and will be done again.
