If the shots had come from a stationary position off the freeway, then the shooter repeatedly aimed past the nearest lanes of traffic and, in the case of those on I-270, shot across at least three lanes and the highway median.

Didn't rufus and dufus ever consider that the longer shots might well indicate that the shooter is stationary, with a small objective scope or red-dot, and attempting to lead the targets? That would be easier for a moderate range shot than for a close shot.

After all, skeet shooters accomplish much the same thing with open sights, but put a scope on there and the hit rate would go way down, ESPECIALLKY for close shots.

Wouldn't scope shots be far more accurate than this person? Unless the gunman is that bad and got "lucky" once by hitting Mrs Knisely. All other shots have been real lame car body shots...

Additionally the shooter may be shooting accross the closer lanes because he actually want to kill the driver. Instead of the bullet having to cross through the entire vehicle, it only has to pass the door or window.

Hmmmm, the intellectual prowess of the police mindset, baffles me. Calling Chief (retired due to multiple windfalls) Moose.
