Video shows two masked bandits aiming pistols with silencers. 51yo man killed.
Actual headline has the clickbait tinge that taints most online news stories these days.

Shooters look like they have had some gun handling before. Notice the one behind the other lowers his gun so he doesn't muzzle sweep his accomplice.

ARFCOM thread

Apparently they got their first hits at 25 yards, so yes, they knew what they were doing. Appear to be using Ruger .22's. Most likely homemade suppressors.

Looks like a professional hit to me. Not some random street thug shooting.

Wish sells a solvent trap for about $30.00 in common thread types for handguns and rifles. Not hard to get a hold of the parts nowadays.

I'm just glad they had the good sense and courtesy to wear the recommended face masks so the folks in the area not targeted for assasination were safe from covid exposure.
