Possible? Yes. Probable? Not enough information, but to accept the probability does require one to accept the “tin Foil hat” scenario. However, it does make sense, and it does fit the timeline.
Why leave the rifle and clothes so close to the scene if you’re headed to a plane which will drop you hundreds of miles away from the scene?
Also, I don’t think the shooter was at Charlie’s 12 O’clock. The hole we’ve seen in his neck appears to be an exit wound, not an entry wound. After watching the slo-mo video, I believe the shooter was at Charlie’s three o’clock and he was hit in the right arm. The bullet traveled through him and exited on the left side of his neck.
A small hole appears in the right side of Charlie’s neck just before blood pours out of the left side of his neck as he stiffens from the impact.

By “conspiracy” I did not mean the “tin foil hat” kind, but a group of conspirators (as in the legal parlance of “conspiracy to commit XXX”) and not a “lone wolf”.
