Why a bench rest when a bipod is just as stable?

On many rifles, a bipod will cause a shift of the impact point as compared to non-bipod mode.

Probably was a sand bag while he was tooling around in the truck.

This is getting pretty interesting. (It's brutal and terrible, but it is also quite an intriguing case.) You can tell from the last two shots, that were not kills, that he is coming unglued. It may reflect that he has lengthened the distance of his shot, accepting the center mass in exchange for the extra security of longer distance to provide more time to get away.

Also, the fact that he didn't police up his brass on the last shot from the stance in the woods indicates he is harried.

I think we are all going to be surprised when this guy is caught if he turns out to be a nice looking kid you would never suspect by looking at him. I think he is young, and inexperienced and probably praying for salvation by now.

Not so easy now to shoot five in a day any more. About now the impact of what he has been doing is creeeping up on him. We might see a pause here for a while. I certainly hope so.

I can't imagine how difficult the counter sniper operation must be given the urban setting, his mobility, and the fact that he has so many potential targets since all he needs is a human, any human, to fit the bill.

This is a very sad case. I feel sorry for the families losing their loved ones in such a sensless drama.
