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.

Good questions all. My theory is that he/they fumbled and dropped a cartridge as they were getting away from the scene. Of course, I was thinking bolt-action .223 and it sounds like they're leaking the news that the rifle is actually a Soviet era AK-74. I think we're about to find out for sure, tho. Sounds like they're about to composite the guys as a couple of ME types, according to what I'm seeing on other threads.

Man, FR is the greatest when you want all the news from all sources at once.
