I think that's just a coincidence. I imagine the shooter is driving around looking for targets. Might not have even known the was a police station nearby.

I think that fact that several victims were in gas stations is telling. If the shooter parks a van within 100 yards of a gas station, they're assured of having someone standing still within a minute or two of when they park. People don't stand still very long in all that many places. Gas stations are the exception. ATMs, too, BTW. More traffic at gas stations though and people aren't as "security conscious" as they are at ATMs. ATMs also have cameras. Just thinking aloud here...

VERY good thinking aloud I will add.
