People standing and moving , the light pole, corner of building in front, tent overhang, situation, and distance.

Dont need to be a pro but certainly knew how to shoot and the fact it was one and done.

Maybe, but the way I see it, the shooter was most likely professionally trained.

Not a hard shot to make on the range with a rest. Some of the contortions I make in a tree during deer season to thread a needle ...Now you have to be a psychopath to calm yourself down enough to make the shot at another human like this.

30-06 was a odd round to use for this. The Remington 700 chambered in this was the preferred sniper rifle for the military from World War II through the early 1980s. There are about 12 rounds that perform better down range with way less recoil. I'd be surprised if a professional would opt for that round to do this. They kick like a mule and sound like a cannon goes off with less performance.

I'm curious how nobody mentioned how the wind was howling (you can see the 'do not cross' tape almost get blown away)...

yeah, whoever he is, he has skills...
