We don't know that the audio is genuine. Anyone can add a sound track. Considering the time and place, I highly doubt it was meant for mass casualties.
Spez: It would be a convenient way to get rid of your wife if you were already going to set off a big ass bomb for other reasons. Two birds with one stone.
Also, the cops say they were responding to a shots fired call, so regardless of how many shots were actually fired, someone thought they heard gunshots and called the police.

Honestly, a lone wolf attack for petty reasons just isn't out of the realm of possibility here.
At least one witness claims to have heard shots fired. It could be real, or it could be the attacker attempting to inform the police, and the witness was confused. We'll probably get better info in the coming days.
I guarantee you that the FBI are going to find out where that RV came from.
As for the lone wolf, it's absolutely possible, but would you believe it?
No.
Longer answer: outside of random "send pipebomb" and "shoot some randos" or "~~Aloha Snackbar~` workplace violence", there's almost no instances of self-taught, self-supported, true lone wolves. Uncle Ted is about it, if you account for the fact that McVeigh and Nichols repeatedly admitted that they had a third accomplice...

Your skepticism is valid. It could be a fake audio track.Actually, I take back what I said earlier. The cops said that they were attempting to evacuate the area because they had heard a loudspeaker from the RV attempting to tell people to evacuate the area due to what the Chief said was a "potential bomb". The audio track may be genuine, as it matches up with the Police Department's statement.

They'll find out the RV was stolen a week ago, I'd wager.
Witnesses are stupid. It could have been a book that fell on the floor.
I stand corrected about the audio. As for the lone wolf, it's absolutely possible, but would you believe it?
Yeah.
Lone wolf terrorism is a thing. It's possible he got some help, but was the primary actor.
The target isn't a coincidence given the times. At the very least, someone with larger plans suggested it to Mr. Wolf.
No.
