He believes the person who fired the fatal shot is a professional or ex-military sniper and may have come from the the eastern states. Unless it was a fully trained professional or an ex-SAS sniper, I can t see anyone else making that shot, Mr Russo added. A kill shot at 300m, in those conditions, it s big. It s a long shot. I doubt they d use anybody from here, and they would have had to be a professional or ex-professional. Someone with SAS training.
