...I highly doubt he is sticking around to search for and locate a spent .223 casing after pulling off a shot...

Last night's shooting lends some support to the theory that this guy isn't using a semi-auto. I can't imagine him running around in the dark trying to locate a spent brass that went flying off into the night. (Though, of course, he could have a brass-catcher stuck to the side of a semi-auto.)

As to the theory that a pistol could have been used, that's a distinct possibility. It wouldn't be hard to make these shots with a scoped Contender, or a similar weapon, resting across one's arm in a car window. It would certainly be less ackward that trying to manuever a rifle out the window for the shot as well as less noticable to witnesses.

Lets not forget that he is suppossed to be using a van or a truck. He could have a little bench set up in the back from which to fire and improve accuracy. An accomplice driving the vehicle makes this a quick and easy way to get in, fire with accuracy, and get out again.

A brass catcher on a semi is a real possibilty, but I am having trouble wondering why the killer wouldn't pull off a "double header" if he had a "mutli shot" weapon. Last night would have been a real chance for such hit. The victim's husband would have made for a very easy and quick second shot if he was using a semi.
