You know, we just might be able to figure out who was doing the shootings by the likely placement of the van. One would think it most likely that the van would be pointing toward the roadway as I really doubt the killer would want to back up or turn around. Therefore, whatever side of the car was facing the victims would tell us if it was the driver or his passenger who took the shots. If the driver, it would imply to me he had no accomplice. - Jeff

Rick, re:One of the experts on TV seemed to have an inside pipeline to info and he said all the shots were from 50-100 yards. A tuned up Mini 14 or AR 15 could make those shots. As you say, inside of a four inch circle would be tough. So what about inside of a twelve inch circle--from 60 yards. Even I could make that shot. Yeah, I heard up to 140 yards for the kid at the school. Whatever, any successful deer hunter could make the shot up to 200 yards without a problem given an accurate rifle, good rest and a decent scope. My AR-15 is the A-3 Elite with a stainless steal match grade barrel and chamber but it sure wouldn't be my first choice for snipping anything but prairie dogs. Having the brass ejected around the inside of my vehicle would be a bit disconcerting - I still think a bolt gun (like most snipers use) would be the best choice.
