For the "witness" here's the actual transcript:
"BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Brooke, a very dramatic account from this witness. It is a woman. We're only calling her Lauretta right now just for her safety.
My producer Duggal McConnell (ph) speaks fluent German and he was able to reach this woman by calling different stores in that area of that mall. He reached her when she was hiding in a windowless store right next door to the McDonald's.
Now, Lauretta told us this -- she was in the McDonald's when a gunman came out after bathroom and started firing. She said she was only two centimeters away from him.
[15:40:01] She said his back was turned to her or she believes she would be dead right now. She says her 8-year-old son was in the bathroom with him and saw him loading his gun.

Then you get into weirdness, like this:
"I was talking to an eyewitness who explained to me, it sounds like there was two malls, one on either side of the street. Obviously, this sounds like from this eyewitness that the person, I don't know, changed clothes but definitely according to the 8-year-old, loaded the weapon and targeting children. "
and this
"However, it's very strange because it doesn't conform to some of the other witness testimony that we have heard of people shouting "Allahu Akbar" and things like that. So, this is something that definitely has to be, you know, look at very carefully. But it is clearly, a person, if he has a weapon, he may very well have been involved in this, and that's something that they'll have to examine. "
And then you realize that no one has ever been able to reconnect with her, nor has ANYONE ELSE confirmed her story and have in fact contradicted it.. but for some reason, one eye witness that's completely anonymous, reached by calling random phones, is more reliable than the video and the possessions of the shooter stating that it was due to being bullied.
