You're a Marine, and you're buying the reporting that a "tripod" was used? How many rifle tripods have you seen in use?

I didn't say I bought it. I didn't buy the profile that he was probably a Marine either. I'm basing what I wrote on what the media reported was pulled out of the trunk of the car. However, this idiot probably did use a pod of some sort. That's another hole in his expert marksman rating. We probably won't know for certain what they used until one or both of the perps give an allocution and even then we may never know the details. I've never seen an AR-15 used with a tripod, they probably meant a bipod but you know how reporters and PAOs usually screw up the facts. Never saw an M60 or M249 or M240 used with a tripod either. Only bipods. I've only seen the ma duce used with a tripod.

And how do you use a tripod in the trunk of a car??

It was almost required due to his position in the trunk.

I kinda doubt the tripod reports since the fool was shooting from the trunk of his old beater. Some dufus reporter heard someone mention a bipod and he translated that (via echoes in his empty noggin) to tripod.
