"There wasn't anything to flag particular concern with our members who were attending the scene that day," Lindford said. “So you can see from that we knew very little about the Trains and there was nothing that would have caused a particular flag for our members who attended on that day,” Linford said.
She said police were still creating a timeline of the Trains' activity in the weeks and months leading up to the shootings.
