Here's a question that just popped into my head: Assuming the missing silenced pistol is the same weapon used to kill Pippin (and maybe Hope). Why did the shooter steal it in the first place?
As I understand the timeline, Everyone packed up to attack the mall to try and rescue Lizzie, only to find the Mallers gone. Saul and Burt went to LAX to look for a helocopter while everyone else went back to the tower...THEN Pippin showed up while Saul and Burt were at LAX. So why did the shooter steal the gun? Was there some other plan, maybe disabling thee radio, maybe something else? Because if the gun was stolen before Pippin showed up, killing him couldn't have been the primary reason for stealing it.

Yeah, just listened back and it's definitely Steven that won't go in with Pippen. Also looked in the wiki and it was him that got Lizzie kicked out. My theory still stands. He's the shooter and possibly the rat. :)

Yeah, the whole situation is just a slap to the face back to reality. to remind us all that he's still just human.

It could really be anyone, but I think Steven is a Red Herring, meant to raise suspicion and divert us from the real killer. But it's so damn confusing - It could be anyone! AAAhhhh!!!!

I suddenly care much less about the why. I suddenly care about the people who were in that rescue party at the Mall before the group split and who the potential assassin could be. The rescue group was just Burt, Saul, Michael, Riley, and Angel. Burt and Saul aren't in the Tower which means the only possibilities for someone who would have had access to the silenced pistol that's supposed to be in the bag and Pippin are Michael, Riley and Angel.

Yeah, knowing KC I could be picking up on clues that are there to throw people off.

I'm praying for a Clue-like episode where Michael and Angel creep around looking for clues and trying to figure out whodunnit. Like Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Bromance included. I'd be such a giddy little mystery-fan!

Oh at first I thought you meant like the 1985 Comedy film, "Clue." =P

Great Movie BTW ;)

If nothing else, we know that there is no way Saul or Burt could be the rat/shooter since they were not even at the tower. Also, those other two minor characters that were supposed to meet them can't be the rat/shooter either for the same reason. We know it can't be Hope. Of course, it wouldn't be Michael. He is our hero. It can't be Lizzie as she is still being held captive. It can't be Pegs because she hates guns. That leaves us Datu, Angel, Steven, Riley, or Kelly. Please reply if there are others I am missing from either list.

Colonel Mustard: *after peaking his head into a room* Just checking!

Miss Scarlett: Everything all right?

Colonel Mustard: Yup. Two Corpses. Everything's fine.

(Just swap Mustard/Scarlett with Michael and Pegs ;))
