I really doubt the guy is standing or sitting out in the open. I'm guessing he's sitting in a vehicle. A bolt action or single shot does make sense though. They are only doing one shot and relocating. They definately think they are snipers.

There have been reports of people hearing the shot, so it is not well silenced. My bet is that they are using a typical car or van parket in a lot, They simply fire from inside and drive away. Tomorrow they'll use something different.

I hope they get gut shot for this, Islamists or not.

Shooting this person would be too good for them. Draw and quarter the jerk and leave him for the buzzards.

what do you mean think. They are shooting from concealment, from medium to long range. They ARE snipers. Time to begin deploying our counter snipers, many of whom don't wear uniforms and may or may not ever have served in the military or police forces. Some of them are called deer hunters, other are just "target" shooters ... until something like this happens. The only way these guys are going to be caught, if they've got more than half a brain between them, is to be caught in the act, at which time there ought to be an armed civilian on the scene to end this nonsense RFN! If they change vehicles, even just by painting and changing the plates, law enforcement will have to get very lucky to catch them. And even if they do somehow, proving they are the shooters is going to be tough. They aren't leaving any brass to match to the guns' bolt face and extracter, and as I understand it you can't really match bullets from high velocity rifles to individual guns that fired them.

I hope they get gut shot for this, Islamists or not.

Sounds like a plan, and it's easier too, for those of us who are somewhat ballistically challenged, due to advancing age and declining eyesight and steadness of hand. As well as those like myself who were never very good in the first place. It is too bad that my nephew, either of my brothers in law, their father or their grandfather (in their day of course) can't get within range of these Clymers, although they'd have to gut shoot them on purpose, especially my wife's Grandpa, and he would have too.
