    When Kirk was shot an old man jumped up and said he did it because apparently he wanted to help the shooter get away but they weren’t connected as far as we know (that guy ended up having child porn or something on his phone I think weirdly enough) Then police grabbed another person who they thought looked similar to the shooter, but wasn’t him.

    The shooter went home and eventually confessed to his father that it was him so his father contacted a local ex deputy friend and they brought him in. He was technically a sniper I guess, he used a rifle with a scope and I believe the distance he shot from was not insignificant.

      What’s this with the cp? Knowing the current administration’s (bad) definitions, I wouldn’t be surprised if he just had a pro trans meme or something

      The distance (~200m) was an average shot for anyone who shoots rifles of the type used, like deer hunters.

      Anyone who thinks the shooter was aiming for the neck is wrong, the best target would be the chest with that type of rifle so it probably hit a little higher than intended.

        I’m betting the rifle is zeroed at 100 yards and he went for an MLG pro gamer headshot. 30-06 zeroed at 100 yards has a few inches drop at 160 yards leading to a neck shot.
