11.Is the person a Veteran??

A. Yes
B. No

My answer....<tough call part of me feels yes, part say no. I am going to go with B. NO, final answer.

Notes on answers.

6. I believe if there is more than one person involved, at least one of them will be employeed.

7.Can a person acting in such a way really be sane??
It is more I just did not see them as suicidal, depressed, or mentally ill. At this point I am betting they are much more manic than they are depressed

8. The choices of when the next attack will occur, really did not give an option that includes next Tuesday in the choice. I choose "B" including Tuesday in that choice.

b,c,a,a+b,b,a,c(if you can call anyone who does this "sane"),a,b,b

I note that this is a significant change from my last theory, based mostly on the apparent eyewitness reports that there was an accomplice. I'm mostly following the new theory, espoused on this thread, that it's a marksmanship contest between two sick buddies.

2 C - either B or C is likely, I'll pick 28-35

4 A - a wild guess
5 A - single - (what the heck is other? widowed, maybe?)
6 A - employed but with flexible hours
7 C - sane, I guess
8 A - before next Tuesday (what about on Tuesday?)
9 C - 1-4 weeks
