Sniper's victim was moving to new home :

"She was outstanding employee. She worked very hard throughout her career. We were very proud of her. We wished she were here now," said Gary Bald, special agent in charge of the FBI in Maryland and Delaware.

Does that sound like somebody who was working in a different department?

What do you think of this?

He/They have gone to ground for now.

I still believe the FBI lady, Cyber operations analyst was a target. He took more risks to get her when tension was high. Tinfoil, maybe, but coincidences are risky to take at face value in a terror environment.

Downside of a deliberate hit idea is that you would probably hit a federal employee of some kind in the area even by chance.

But, then, why did the shooter not take out her husband; a far bigger target? And easier if he was targeting at random.

Would help to know if they were together or he was on the other side of the car. In that case, this theory probably doesn't hold, but if he was with her on the same side of the car or loading stuff in the back....but the idea of cyberanalyst working on counter terror shot dead....

Sorry, I just don't see anything unusual here.
