Counter sniper isn't going to work when the guys hunting ground is 70 miles long and 10 wide, with millions of civilians (i.e. targets) in the way. The shooting tonight was obviously well planned, the cops had the highways closed in a short time, and he still got out.

I'm guessing he's not in a white van, he's got his egress carefully planned, and he's out of the area in minutes, not on highways.

My prediction for the next shooting is before noon, and south of the cluster of shootings, but not as far south as the farthest ones.

In WWII, with thousands of troops in the field and their own corps of snipers, the Red Army often used artillery to go after German snipers.

That's a frightening thought. They have hundreds of thousands of men carrying weapons of war around and they use arty to go after one man with a rifle.

If I lived in the area, I'd consider moving. If I couldn't move, I'd wear body armor and a helmet.
