I don’t know, 3" (or so) grouping at 200 yards under those conditions is objectively hard. I don’t know anyone in my personal life that I think could make that shot
Doesn’t need to be a 3" grouping. Could have just gotten lucky. Could have been aiming center mass or for the head and wildly missed. But also he wasn’t moving and 200 yards with a properly sighted in scope isn’t too different from 100 yards and a properly sighted in scope.
Yeah, my guess was actually that they were aiming for his head (easier to get a clear shot at through a crowd, because center mass would likely be obscured by other people around him) and missed.
If you know fewer that 350 people well enough to know how well they shoot… then you might still know someone good enough to make the shot but don’t know that they are.
Occam’s Razor.
The USA probably has a million (literally) gun owners capable of making that shot.

An ex army friend of mine said he’d be expected to make that shot with iron sights at 300m if he had an M4 after a year of training.
Not to say every backyard marksman is army trained, but it doesn’t sound improbable.

If they missed his forehead, it had to be on purpose
Yeah. But there’s what 350 million of y’all?
