Interesting to see someone whose decision making is so disordered that they manage to carry out a shot from 200 meters and then disappear. That looks more like a carefully planned crime than madness.

That they didn't account for drop and hit the neck shows that they weren't in fact very competent.

200 meters isn't that far of a shot if you are familiar with shooting or a hunter. I regularly take down deer at 200-300 yards.

The shooter is also in custody already and captured thankfully.

There are still conflicting reports about whether the shooter is in custody.

The first person of interest was detained, but released.

FBI director says a suspect is in custody. That governor says a person of interest is in custody. Local police say the shooter is still at large. This is what Reuters was reporting as of 1 hour ago.

Not very relevant unless Kirk was also inside a moving car

Mental illness does not imply the lack of any ability to plan things out.

I keep seeing this. Why do people keep making the point that if you can make an accurate shot from 200 yards with a rifle that makes you a sane person?

People generally use really crude (and incorrect) heuristics when judging others. "He was a family man/good christian/nice to me at work/etc, I don't know how he could have murdered his family!" Mental illness gets it even worse b/c most people don't have any good framework for understanding it.

We're mixing sanity with belligerency. Someone in the heat of passion doesn't plan out a 200m shot, alongside an escape route.

I think that's the mixup. You can be insane but still perform some very calculated plots.
