>Some witnesses said they heard the shot coming from a wooded area at the edge of the parking lot, said Pleasants
You can see from the pic, that this place is surrounded by woods. I'm wondering if the sniper did not hoof it overland to some safehouse? The white truck being used as a blind and was driven back to the rental agency by a lone driver/accompice (without a rifle)... the driver having some superficially valid reason for renting the truck.
That is the cops are looking for a white van with a rifle in it. What the cops should be looking for is 1) a safe house near each shooting location and 2) a white van with no rifle that gets returned to a rental agency shortly after an attack by the same accomplice. The accomplice would be a person with a clean record who has an ostensibly legitimate reason for frequently renting vans. The shooter is an Al-Queda operative who is living 'underground.'
