I heard an account of last nite's shooting that said the guy stepped out of a car and shot the woman from 30 yards, then drove away.

Some of the other shots sounded more difficult for the "average" shooter, though.

I'd heard that two of the early shots were pretty challenging head shots...hadn't actually
heard the range of the latest sad event.

Maybe I'm just a naive CSI wannabe, but I've been intrigued why this shooter(s),
if they are so good (one shot-one kill mostly) use a gun that leaves a spent round
for forensic evidence?
I always thought the professional "hit man" prefered to use a revolver, not a semi-auto pistol
in order to take his shell casings away with him from the crime scene.

Why not just jump out of the car with a bolt-action .223, do the single shot
and hop back into the car...heck, he/she/they could have an Uzi in the vehicle if
needed to counter a law enforcement/armed citizen who challenges them.

Like I've said before, this whole "reign of terror" will fill thousands of PhD theses.

One other thing...
another post (#35) mentions that the parking garage is brightly lit and that Home Depot is
open 24/7.

I don't know if it's equivalent, but I've been to a 24/7 Home Depot in
Culver City, CA at 1 AM.
I left because the place was too busy and the lines at the four open check out were
snaking up the aisles.

Even if it's even remotely similar, but I gotta' say this...pulling off this
shooting sounds VERY b@llsy...
or simply reflects great planning and incredible training and discipline.

Just like the USA did after WWII with Werner Von Braun and his colleagues...
I bet that there are plenty of SWAT teams and US Military snipers cursing
this guy (or the team)...and at the same time curious to hear what this killer(s) would
have to teach them if captured alive.
(that's just my naive speculation as an avid amateur shooter in the past...)

So where's the cartridge?
