Don't know if it is posted but today's body shots are suggesting that with all the heat, the sniper is keeping more distance.

Agreed, 5.56mm drops like a rock at about 250 meters. I think that the sniper didn't use a BDC (bullet drop compensation) calculation with his shot. His oversight probably saved the boys life.

Semper ARMED AND DANGEROUS!!!

According to reports, this was a chest shot, and IIRC the MO is to go for the body, not the head. This doesn't sound like an oversight -- merely that he aimed as desired, but didn't get the kill.
