There was a report on the boy's medical treatment in the Washington Post a couple of days ago. It made it pretty clear there was only one shot.

By the way, the boy's injuries sound quite similar to those of the man shot last night

Yes, I noticed that, too.

I always suspected the damage described could have been caused by one bullet, just never saw a specific report. I know the boy had a sucking-chest wound, which means the bullet must have entered the chest and penetrated the lung, which sounds like it was a bit higher on the torso than last night's. I agree the other damage does sound similar. Of course, just about every severe trauma busts-up the spleen.

Thanks!

I think so too. According to Tuchman on CNN last night, the sniper could also have been standing out in the woods, out of his van, just like the child's shooting in MD. Tuchman also said that just about an acre through the woods (about a 45-second hike) was a road under construction that led to Route 54 (it didn't connect, but a vehicle could easily pass over the unconstructed part). I just looked on a map and saw that Route 54 leads to Route 301. The Bowie shooting was just off Route 301.
