The suspect is still at large - officials earlier said they found a high-powered rifle in woods near where Kirk was shot.

Also, “high powered rifle” essentially means “not a 22”.

      If their lead about a deer rifle in the woods is accurate, then it would be strange if these were pictures of the suspect given he is not carrying a rifle or any means of concealing one.

        Only if the “Person of Interest” had not already stored/hidden the gun at the roof location a day before, and planned longer term…

          You think these are pictures of the shooter walking to the overlook where he has stored a gun previously? Yes, that would be possible. It would still be strange that they were able to isolate pictures of the shooter arriving, but not leaving.

            I think I heard the shooter jumped off the roof to leave, so if that’s true it would make some sense.

            yes. I think this is possible. But lets see what the FBI finds out this week, will be interesting. I propose if they do not get him within 2 weeks he has gone dark / deep undercover.
