Didn't I just read some place that it may have been Moose's calling the sniper a "coward" over the weekend that caused him to shoot the boy yesterday?

Here's a little known fact.
The police had the Michaels near the school staked out on Monday morning.

Now some conjecture.
The sniper saw the police when he drove to the Michaels, got really mad and drove off in a rage to seek another target. The school was a last minute choice, a target of opportunity, so to speak.
The sniper changed his MO at the school. He got out of the car and shot from the ground. He left a shell casing behind.

That means he was going to the Michaels in Bowie before 8 AM (presumably hours before the store opens). I wonder how long he would have had to wait for a target.

If what you say is true, I trust all the Michaels stores in the area are going to be under protection for a while.

Very possible.
