One thing I noticed is all the various video clips make it seem like significant time passed before the snipers took him out, but it actually happened very fast. I think a lot of the criticism of the various law enforcement involved is really overblown. I guess it's natural to look for people to blame, but in the end only the shooter is responsible. Whether anyone else was involved is a question mark.
My initial take is that the shooter was working alone and clearly in need of some kind of psychiatric treatment. He's within the age when the first signs of being a sociopath show up. 16 to 25 I think. It's not only possible he worked alone it's likely.
130 yards is nothing with pretty much any hunting rifle with a good scope. To shoot within a quarter at that range is reasonable for a person familiar with their weapon. 300 yards a hand-spread. The choice of using an AR kind of guarantee's he was not experienced beyond that weapon. Any good big-game rifle would have been a far better choice. His choice of weapon I think played a part in his near miss thank God.
I can only pray that clear heads prevail and this is the only incident like this in this election. I heard someone last night mention that 37 candidates were gunned down in Mexico's last elections. We are better than that and Mexico should serve as a good example that using force does not work. It's truly sad that shooter did not get help before he snapped.
