If I were the killer, I would be worried about the noise and neighbors. Don't know what the temperature was - but if a window was open ... and silencers are a risky pain in the butt and (unlike the movies) not all that silent for a hail of supersonic 9mm rounds. That is why I thought a 22 would fit the bill from a noise perspective and explain all the head shots. We will just have to wait - spec'ing this part of the crime is rather fruitless given we know so little. My vote is on the Russians. -g-

I still think we will find out that a 9mm was at least one of the weapons used in the crime. According to the press reports, the police said all of the bullets found at the scene were of the same caliber, though they didn't specify whether only one weapon was used. Press reports also indicate that Chalem took at least one shot directly to the temple. Presumably he wasn't dead at the time, though he suffered other head wounds. Unless the killer was really insane, I doubt he'd have filled Al's head with lead once he'd stopped breathing. I say: a .22. [Ugh. THIS for my 25K post??]
