You know what catches my atention? The term "skilled shooter". Where do they get that? I suppose if the shots are from several hundred yards away this term could be used accurately. But, and maybe I've just missed it, I haven't heard of anyone saying how long the shots were. If from 50 or 75 yards, it would hardly take a "skilled shooter" to inflict one shot kills with any moderate or better quality rifle. And why no interviews with the people who heard the shots? Except for rimfires, even a light caliber (they're claiming high power) rifle is going to make quite a boom unless it's suppressed or fired from very long range. I have been quite occupied and maybe I've just missed these reports, or is there some information missing?

On a live target, it takes one heck of a shooter to even open fire (85% of grunts never shoot in firefights), much less kill 5 people with 5 shots.

Is there some information missing? How about most of it! Sketches and descriptions of the suspects . . . interviews with family members of the victims . . . news about the ongoing manhunt . . . warnings to people about being alert . . . it's like they don't want us to know anything whatsoever . . . and why is that?

Skilled shooter? One shot one kill.(or at least hit)

Average "drive by" is a couple dozen shots minmum with very few hits. Inner city gangbanga's don't have a practice range and can't shoot.
