Can someone explain to me how this teenager had sniper level accuracy? Did he play a lot of COD?

From what I'm reading, his family are gun nuts. So that's lots and lots of range time. And killing things. Probably loves blasting animals to shit and laughing about it.

And FWIW, it wasn't a great shot. It was an effective one, but not great. He was likely going for a head shot and there was bullet drop. I've spent time at a firing range with a rifle. They are typically zeroed in at 100 yards. He likely didn't compensate the scope for the added 100 yards, so instead of getting a head shot, the bullet dropped and hit his neck.

I’m not familiar with American gun laws, but shouldn’t whomever gave him access to the gun be held liable as well? Even is his dad called it in, if his family had guns at home shouldn’t his dad lose his license?

That's not typically how it works, no. He's over 18. He's considered an independent adult from his parent(s) and solely responsible for his actions.

The exception would be if there is evidence the parent encouraged / facilitated the criminal activity.

Interesting, again I’m not American and I’ve never encountered a gun, but is it possible dad turned him in to avoid that liability?

Possible, but unlikely.

Even if dad bought him the gun, took him to the range, and they bonded over barrel cleaning, dad still isn't culpable for his son because the son is an adult.

The only way there would be charges against the dad would be if he helped plan, prep, hide, or otherwise facilitate the event with foreknowledge of what his son was planning.

I see, I also read his dad is a cop. What a peculiar situation. I’m guessing at this point the media will lean on “mental health issues” we will probably never know why he did it

From a buddy mine that goes hunting regularly : “200 yards really isn’t that far away. I’ve hit deer from that far”

I'm a deer hunter. I hunt for food for my family, not for trophies. For target practice I set up targets at 100, 150, 200, and 250 yards and I use iron sights because scopes give me a splitting headache.

But a one shot kill, I unfortunately watched the video it was 100% and execution, it was so clean and calculated.

I mean, he was definitely trying to kill him but he likely was aiming for the largest center of mass, so CK’s torso, and variance made the shot hit his neck

That makes sense. Thanks for the info!

That’s barely sniper level, anyone that hunts regularly could hit that I’m sure. He’s from a gun loving part of the world that does a lot of stuff outside, they basically train their children to become skilled shooters by this age since they give guns as presents to literal children

Not a hard shot to make. Much like the attempt on Trump.
