The press is so stupid.
At the end of the article "Robbery was not a motive," said Lt. Crowson. "The two men approached the victims and started shooting."

Re: Sniper style shooting in North Houston attacking random
I guess that I define a "sniper-style shooting" a little differently than the local press.

I think the writer watches too many Holywood movies where no one can hit anything with a gun from further than 10 yards without a super duper scoped sniper rifle.

Most definitely a misleading story title put in place by the reporter...
Re: Sniper style shooting in North Houston attacking random
More likely an editor who looks at the story and figures out a catchy headline. I'm surprised they didn't have a picture of the sniper Glock AR-15 machine gun that all snipers use.gthaustex wrote:Most definitely a misleading story title put in place by the reporter...

Re: Sniper style shooting in North Houston attacking random
Musta been a very short sniper rifle, or the snipers had terrible aim and had to get real close.

I hope the victims heal quickly, and the dirtbags serve serious time for attempted murder x2."The two men approached the victims and started shooting."
I am not a lawyer. This is NOT legal advice.!

They must have updated the heading of the report "Masked men carried out ambush-style shooting at gas station"
Didn't see anything about a sniper....
