Wednesday

Prescheduled rally. Probably a little female/male ex-military sniper. Everything planned out. Had to get in and get out in a jiffy. One shot. What the heck did he she/he do with the rifle on the way out? Hide it and come back for it later?
It HAD to be a sniper. Holy moley. I've been wondering whether this was going to start happening again,
like in the '60s: assassinations.
