I think that is a distinct possibility considering the recent news stories.

If we are lucky, they will brag about it on social media.

I'd find that highly unlikely.
One doesn't just brag about killing Cops on Faceboook.
I actually find the details not released by LEO more upsetting.
Where did the Gun men fire from? How many shots? Etc.

As an example.
Given a 75 yard shot? I can take you with a freaking Air Gun and insure it's a death shot.
Time to reload, aim, and fire at same range? I'm sure I could kill 2.
The 2nd Guy would be going to the aid of the first so I know where he's gonna be.
I know this from past service!

I'm very suspicious when LEO's hide details in the name of 'On Going Investigations'.
If I can find details of shooter position, weapons used, rounds fired?
I can get a picture of the attackers.
Other then that? Good Luck Dudes!

It takes time to do a crime scene investigation. Would you rather they hurriedly release information that might turn out to be incorrect? Let them do their job. If it hasn't been released in a month or two then there's reason to be suspicious.
