    The the fact high-powered rifle at long distance

    That’s not that amazing, plenty of people hunt or target shoot and get good. The suspect part to me is the shooter escaping

      I agree, any hunter could have made that shot. What’s suspect to me is the dude standing there doing basebaII signaIs right before the shot.

        What guy did I miss a clip. I wasn’t even paying attention to the audience. Plus the video is short that I saw. Ever see fhat Nicholas Cage movie Snake Eyes? They had someone that did something similar.

      I’m not that surprised the shooter hasn’t been caught yet. the only things known at this point are that they wore dark clothing and were possibly college-aged? And the building the shot was fired from.

      The shooter started 200 yds from the victim, so it’s not like they had to escape through a panicked crowd or anything. If there weren’t any cops nearby and the shooter used a bit of planning and common-sense opsec (e.g. didn’t carry a smart-phone, didn’t share plans with anyone else) it’s feasible to imagine them quickly ditching the gun nearby, maybe getting into a car and driving off. At that point they’ve blended in, unless/until further evidence is uncovered.
