RE: (4) We might get lucky - someone, sometime, will have a video camera and will capture this turkey and/or the vehicle.
Luck happens to the well-prepared.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
We can help catch this guy. He only fires one shot. So if you happen to hear a shot and you're still standing, someone else was fired upon and you're likely to be safe. Observe the scene around you. Try to absorb everything you can, particularily vehicles leaving the scene. If you have a video camera, carry it with you and video the scene.
There's far more people than snipers. So far that's been the sniper's advantage. But we can turn it into a liability.
When a shot is fired, and someone is hurt or killed, everyone's first instinct is to focus on the victim. The sniper knows that and uses the confusion to flee. If you turn your attention to the scene, we'll get info on the sniper and catch him. Potentially, many more lives will be saved that way.
If you find yourself in the vicinity of a shot: keep your head and use it.
I'm dropping this on every thread about the sniper with the hope that someone will be able to act on it and stop him.

What would be frustrating in being in such a scenario would be panic, fear, adrenalin (sp) and knowing which direction to look..
