Also, the shooter picks out his location well before the shootings take place. The Home Depot fit with the type of locations being selected (steady stream of possible targets, easy getaways, someplace within shooting range to lie in wait). The location is relevant, the target is random.

I've thought the same thing. I even wondered if his accuracy could be attributed to his picking out a spot such as under a particular lightpost. Whoever parks their car in that space is the target.

This would give a shooter a tremendous advantage. He could have paced off/measured the distance and sighted his weapon accordingly. He doesn't have to hit a moving target as much as aim at a spot and wait for a body to fill it.
