    Even still, the dude was on a roof only 400 yards away with minimal tree obstruction. How no one saw the dude climbing up there with a damn rifle and then set up in a prone position is beyond me. They’re claiming some people made comments that some weirdo was wandering around, but it’s baffling how counter snipers weren’t scanning everything and anything that allowed him to get as far as popping off as many rounds as he did.

      Brace yourself…450 feet, not yards. It’s a reasonable distance for anyone with a good rifle, scope and experience.

      Apparently the shooter was rejected from his school rifle club and asked not to come back.

        Jesus, that’s unreal. That’s a pot shot even with a 22.

        And yeah, I’ve been hearing that those investigating are having a heck of a time coming up with anything on this guy, apparently he was a real loner type.

        All the more reason we really need more kindness in this world.
