If I get a group of 30 people to tightly pack in a 20 foot circle around something and then just start firing into the pack.... it wouldn't be to hard to hit one or more people with every shot.
Don't be an etard. Wrap more tinfoil around your head and you won't hear the voices.
I see ATS is still a bastion of libtard idiocy....
He was surrounded by people. If he missed on, he just hit the one behind them.
There were obviously enough people that he the only way he could miss was if he shot straight up or straight down. No, he was no Annie Oakley, he was shooting at targets from 10 feet or less and couldn’t miss.
P.S. I would bet that there are more than one grazing shot that hit two people with one bullet.
Markmanship is not required when shooting into a densely packed crowd.
In an interview one of the women who was wounded who pushed her daughter against the wall when the shooter started shooting said many people were all in a very small area and that his shoorting was close-range and the emergency room staff remarked at how much gunpowder there was in her wounds, apparently indicating how close the shooter was to her.
Tell Chris Mathews he is right, Sarah Palin was there firing from the grassy knoll.
He was shooting at point blank range along a crowded line of people in “Condition White.” It was a “fish in a barrel” scenario.
With all the advantages he had it could have been a lot worse if he was skilled shooter.
he was firing into a crowd at point blank range
no marksmanship was required
The mere presence of a UNIFORMED Police officer with a sidearm may have afforded a different outcome to all of this, in my opinion.
Of course there were. I think there were five more strategically placed around the perimeter of the crowd armed with silencers......invisible ninjas if you will.
Some of the injuries were from fragments, likely off the concrete. I agree he had to be using FMJ because the head wound on Gifford had a small entrance and exit. Extremely fortunate for Gifford.
If Jared played a lot of video maze games he got the point-and-shoot thing down pat. A few years ago there was a spate of convenience store robberies committed by very young dudes armed with pistols wherein if the clerk moved unexpectedly the kid shot him, usually in the forehead. It turned out these kids had been video gamers who learned instant point and shoot and got good playing these games. The shootings were “accidental” in that the shooters did not intend them but a move by the clerk triggered what was by then almost an instinctive reaction in the robber. For a while the military used those games to train infantry but then developed its own more sophisticated games.
I bet Jared was a video gamer.
9mm ball ammo and a crowd surrounding those closet to him, preventing their scatter.
All he had to do was shoot into the crowd...couldn't miss.
Jared used to shoot cans in the desert with a buddy.
