There are several long range gun ranges within a 20 minute drive of Utah Valley University. Not hard to get a warmup in within 2 hours of the intended assassination. It happened mid afternoon. If the kid in butler is to be believed that it was a solo operation with actual secret service on site, he was at near sea level going after a standing and moving target from a similar distance. This is a much different scenario requiring less tactical ability and skillset.
park in lot L1, would only take the person less than 5 minutes in the chaos to get off the roof and to their vehicle on foot and be on the highway 15 with a full tank of gas. Everyone and their mother was running on foot at that time. Not one person is paying attention. They haven’t locked down every campus exit within that time frame. If they acted solo, they have been out of state for a few hours. They could be in Arizona, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada. Take your pick. But drop the conspiracy theory that it was something deeper than a deranged individual that couldn’t cope with someone who had ideas that were different than theirs.
There was a shot from a distance, but it was not the kill shot. A much closer range shooter got the kill and fled in the mass panic.
