Most of these shots have been taken from 100-200 yards out? FBI used to train some pretty good snipers. I ain't sayin this killer is the FBI gone bad, or nothing like that. I guess what I'm tryin to point out is the caliber of killer we got here. He ain't that good. He is good, but not one of the greats. FBI had one guy who was one of the best, ever, bar none. They say great assasins are born and then improve. :) I think this killer has had some sort of military type training. Not like the Marines, but maybe in one of those terrorist camps. Not like the FBI, somewhat less than that. I'm just guessin here, but I think I like Hammas for this.

I can't believe in the Master Criminal scenarios. If this guy was smart, he wouldn't be doing this.
If the range has gone to 200 yards you might be correct but I can't see it.
What makes a person a good shot isn't when things are going right. It's when they're going wrong. A good shot can buy a bad firearm and know what to do to make it right. A bad shot can be lucky enough that the firearm is sighted in with the scope and it's that much easier.
Since he's only taking one shot, he's not reacting to multiple targets at different ranges.
At the most difficult, he's may be using a pistol and a scope that may only be a 4 power. If he's shooting at 100 yards, it's like a person shooting at 25 yards from a supported position at man-sized targets. That's not difficult and it doesn't make it part of a terrorist group.
