Here in Virginia groundhog hunting is common and if I am not mistaken the .223 is commonly used for them. There is always the possibility that some guy has gone nuts, and that he is a target shooter. It ain't that much of a leap, now, is it?

Not a leap at all. Clearly this guy has training. And a .223 T/C would be an excellent choice.

One guy, no not much of a leap. Two guys, as some reports indicated (as well the circumstantial "evidence"), not bloody likely. It doesn't even really fit the one guy gone nuts scenario anyway, because those types tend to bunker up and/or just go in and fire randomly. Then they wait to commit suicide by cop, or just do it themselves.
