I just want to point out some things since everyone is assuming it was a leftist shooter:

No one knows who the shooter actually is.
Most leftist reactions I've seen to Kirk have been to laugh at his stupidity, not get murderously angry at him.
No political message has appeared yet, like the one Luigi put on the bullets he used. Which if you're a leftist shooter, come on you gotta at least do that homage.
The shooter killed him with one shot from a distance and got out without being caught.
I've never met a leftist who knows how to shoot a gun, nevermind one with that level of skill. If it was a leftist, I'm surprised they couldn't catch them by now by simply arresting the one leftist who knows how to shoot at long distance.

There are many leftists who a) own guns, and b) can hit a 200yd man sized target.

Its a good shot, and a hard shot, but its not an unusually skilled shot. Many hunters take 200, 300, even 500 yd shots, usually to the boiler room, but neck shots are somewhat commonly done too.

Nurse friend of mine saw the closeup. She said

"It was a gusher. Given we have 5 pints of blood in our vascular system, he probably lost at least 1-2 before they got to him. Anymore video of what occurred next? At least enough for a bad brain injury"
