      We identified two other guns used in the killing. One of the was in the hands of this man. We see him here blindfolding the women with the baby just before the shooting starts. Our military source identified him as Barnabas ‘Gonorso'.pic.twitter.com/ofOdRpOwI7

      Although we were not able to confirm this identification, a very similar name – Barnabas Donossou – appeared 11 days later in the government’s list of men now under investigation.pic.twitter.com/KNvdDVib6o

      The other gun used in the killing is the Zastava M21 we saw earlier. It’s in the hands of a man identified in the video as “Cobra.” Who is Cobra?pic.twitter.com/mvWRoPvBbQ

      As the women and children are killed, “Cobra” is the last man still firing into the bodies. A colleague calls out “Tsanga, leave it, they’re dead.” When he keeps firing, they call again: “That’s enough, Tsanga.”pic.twitter.com/qy9tFhwhvS
