Why a professional? 200 yards is not a far shot by any means.

First two apprehended suspects where decoys, one with a pellet rifle https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs97820vcwa605ck22q9ed766gdevg98ete46ez96xcegndw8hze6c8smau6
Fat old men as pellet rifle decoys and someone placed somewhere everyone could see, to make the shot easy?
Sounds organized by amateurs.
Yeah, don't need a professional sniper, to shoot someone with a rifle, on a clear day, when they are sitting in a chair on a platform with unobstructed line of sight.
A real sniper can make 600 yards, without even breaking a sweat. The record is from 2.36 miles away.
200 yards is BELOW the lowest range Israeli defence snipers train on. Anyone with a decent rifle and some target practice could have made that shot.
> At the range the snipers shot targets from 300, 400, 500, 600, and 800 meters in both the prone and standing positions. The U.S. snipers sent rounds downrange using the M110-SASS and the Israeli snipers used the SR25-CARBINE.
