Maybe you should consider two or more video game freaks who are having a competition. I have heard the Columbine type kids theories....the only thing is if high-school kids, it would be hard IMHO to be out from school for so long, and be able to rent a van, etc., and not be noticed by parents, classmates, teachers, etc. BTW, you can't rent a car or van if under age 25 in most jurisdictions. I think you need a truck to shoot from in these deals...I find it hard to believe that someone can exit a vehicle with a rifle, set up, and then get back in a vehicle without anyone noticing. I think the guy is shooting from inside a truck, with a back opening.

Rent a van? There is no clear evidence that it is a van. Kids have cars - and probably some have vans. And pick-up trucks. Remember, Montgomery County is one of the most affluent counties in the country.
If we have two of these freaks, one drives, sets up, the shooter is in the passenger seat, shooting across the driver - who may even provide some "rifle support".
As for getting out, shooting and then getting back into the car, the presence of a shell casing at the middle school shooting, if it came from the shooting, indicates that that is exactly what happened.
