I still think the shooter was in a building on the opposite side. The water tower doesn’t make sense as all eyes would be pointing in that direction. Get everyone focused on the spectacle going on, then sneak a bullet in from the opposite direction from an expert sniper and if the weapon was suppressed and using subsonic ammunition the shooter could have been very close indeed. If not, my guess would be that the round used would have been something like a 6mm Dasher, 6mm Creedmoor or even a .22 creedmoor. I don’t believe a 5.56/.223 would have been used, it’s just not really a precision round. Yes it’s accurate to a point but not ideal.

What about the photo of the bullet in mid-air? The bullet is clearly travelling from Crooks' direction, and its trajectory is slanted slightly downward, exactly like one would expect if it came from the rooftop.

I don’t really believe the vapor trail photo, I think it more likely that’s misdirection.
Do you mean this photo or a different one?
