That's why I mentioned the manual-- there have to be manuals on the theory of sniping. Some of the survivalist groups have to have them.

I haven't made up my mind on who this sniper is-- al Qaeda, a nut, two nuts, former military....

Or, as one ex-cop on FOX suggested, a couple of teenagers daring each other to do something more dangerous. The cop made a good case for a couple of kids in their late teens who possibly still are attending high school which fits with the timing of the shootings.
At this point, I guess everything is being considered, and my guess is some private citizen will come up with an observation that will be key to capture.

What theory, what manual? Half the freepers on these threads have thought up much more complicated scenarios.

Hey! Whatever happened to that engineering school nut who went AWOL from the 82nd and built that Homeless Hilton out in the middle of some Maryland park? There was a FR thread that said he was being given a bus ticket to return to NC on his own recognizence.
