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."

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...

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.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Musta been a very short sniper rifle, or the snipers had terrible aim and had to get real close. :lol:
"The two men approached the victims and started shooting."
I hope the victims heal quickly, and the dirtbags serve serious time for attempted murder x2.

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....

Well played, sir. They start offering those at the same time Glock came out with a 1911? :biggrinjester:

Someone must have made a bunch of noise about the misleading title.
