His own platoon’s organic firepower and a 500-pound bomb from overhead air support eventually silenced the sniper.

With great respect for the platoon's firepower, somehow I suspect that the 500-pound bomb might have had the decisive effect on the sniper!

Since there are no signs of the snipers we will assume you are correct.

Yeah, somehow I think a near miss with a 500 pound counts more than a near miss with a rifle.
