One of the talking heads on O'Reilly (MGEN Paul Valire or was it the COL?)) said that with the tank optics, the drones and other sources, he's damn sure they saw a sniper or they would not have fired.
I believe that's the case. Our forces have been pretty deliberate in their engagement.

I am of the opinion that they probably were taking fire, looked up, saw some photogs long lens, thought it was a sniper rifle, and took him out!
Ooops...

It's sometimes damn hard to tell from the sound where a shot is coming from in a city. An echo can easily make you look at the tall cement building over yonder for the sniper you suspect is shooting your way.
So you scan the building, and see the shine of the "sniper's" optical sight.
Only just possibly, the "sniper's" scope you see shining at you is a televsion or other lens.
