The sniper from a shooter's perspective

Interesting article from a WaPo movie critic (?) about the sniper from a shooter's perspective.

He refers to the first shot as a miss. That's the one that went through the Michael's craft store window. Apparently, all of his other shots hit someone; that's the only one that "missed." It continues to strike me as odd that someone who has the skills described in the WaPo article would have such a big miss.

Has the person who was the supposed target been found? Was it someone outside, or one of the people inside the store? Was this just the result of the sniper's inexperience? Had he never shot through a window before, but had only been shooting animals in the woods? Was his original target just windows, but he switched to people when the window thing didn't give him the emotional lift he was seeking? Was it the result of a dare? Was it an intentional miss to throw people off? Was he a fired Michael's employee or contractor?

Also, search for apricot here. He doesn't seem to be hitting them there, aiming for the body as described in the WaPo article referenced above.

Also, for one more possibility, search for (F here.
