    The timing of the shot is wild:

    He was specifically asked a question regarding if he knew of any mass shootings involving a transgender shooter. Before he could answer, he was shot.

    I wonder if the shooter was able to hear what was being said.

          Yeah, but 200 yards to make a clean shot straight through his artery while he’s under a tent is some sniper shit

            when i see expert work in my field i have to admire it even when it’s a crime. like, when i was in finance and a particularly creative fraud would make the news we’d all go to the break room and talk about the accused’s chutzpah and take turns saying what we’d change to get away with it, and how we’d get caught in an audit (all but one of us worked at the IRS for a spell), and so on for about an hour. it was a great thought exercise, kept our brains active and helped keep us current with caselaw.

            likewise, though grievous bodily harm was inflicted, that’s a remarkable shot.

            He likely missed. He was either aiming for center mass (most likely), or the head. In either case he was 8" high or low respectively from misjudging the distance.

            My guess is it was likely a shot at center mass that went high. This was was no 3000m special forces sniper insanity.

              Fair, but also I know for a fact I could never even get close. I’m not saying this was some insane record setting shot or anything, but 200 yards while he’s under a tent and behind a crowd, it’s a wonder he hit Kirk’s bitch ass instead of someone in the crowd, and he landed it in a vital artery
