First people were saying that the shooter had to be amazingly good if he could aim at the officers and hit two of them. Now the improbability field went up a notch: the shooter wasn't even aiming at them and still hit them!

I also presume that a Hi-Point carbine (.40 SW or 9x19mm) with a scope is out of question, as this aspiring musician would neither need it or be able to buy one. So, to boost the difficulty level to another notch, he did all that with a short barrel handgun. If this is true, the guy just lost a great job of a top notch marksman, if we imagine that he wanted a job.

Hi Point carbines are not expensive.

Actually, hitting two cops in a line of cops at about 100 yds. isn’t too difficult even with a hand gun. At that distance they all look like one mass. As in the Civil War, just aim at the line and drop the rounds in at the right elevation. Somebody’s likely to be in the way and get hit. That’s why, in basic infantry training, they drum it into the troops to spread out.

True story! Shooter X military op. with mode .22 cal. rifle at 100-125 yards, maybe night scope. Dumb a$$ with hand gun at 100 yards in dark NFW. Please folks wakey, wakey, can you say FALSE FLAG! Your tax dollars once more at work.
