I am starting to think it's not a teenage boy. I was wanting to ask someone who knows about guns and marksmanship what kind of a shot this person would have to be, and it looks like I've stumbled across the right person! So it does not take an expert shooter to do what this guy has done. I was assuming that to down people with one shot from a distance(?) he would have to be a very good shot. I do now think it is an adult male. If it's two of them, it's more likely a staged event with an agenda in mind, not the work of a nut.

The most difficult thing to do with todays technology is to prepare the weapon. A scope has to be zeroed in, learn how to deal with the wind and what happens to the bullet based upon the range to the target. Learning how to breathe and not jerk, but squeeze the trigger.
That said the rest would be his mental attitude, must be in control of himself, no excitement, stone cold, to keep the cross hairs of the site on his target.
Is this guy a good shot, yes, stone cold yes, and expert, possibly. Hope this helps. Tom
