CNN Law Enforcement Analyst: Kirk’s Killer Was a Skilled Sniper

“This wasn’t an amateur.”

“You’ve got an individual who went to a rooftop dressed in dark clothing. Found a sniper’s perch and made a very long shot, a single shot that resulted in this assassination. … This is the kind of person who would have planned to get in silently. Try to be invisible. Take this shot. Accomplish the mission. Take the gun with them and leave little evidence behind.”

“That tells you that the person is not new to shooting, that they understood exactly what type of long rifle to bring, what kind of optics in terms of scopes and sights to have on that. What the windage was that might affect a shot from that distance. This is someone who knew exactly what they were doing, and is probably known to others… This wasn’t an amateur.”
