Looks very much like a male; no breasts, male body shape, male haircut, masculine clothing. He has light skin. He has relatively short hair, clean shaven...may not even shave yet. Thin neck and jaw line, looks young, early twenties at best, could be a teenager. He fled on foot into a wooded area, then on foot into the neighborhood; may not have a car or even a driver's license yet. He apparently discarded what is described as a "high powered" long rifle in the wooded area as he fled. My guess is the rifle is not registered to him. Probably his dad's or someone else's. Left a palm and firearm print. Definitely not a professional. FBI says the were able to track his movements on the roof, which means he had a cell phone and it was turned on, another rookie move. Professional snipers know the FBI can check cell tower data to see the movements of everyone with a cell phone in that area. The FBI apparently lost track of him after he enters a nearby neighborhood. He may have gotten in someone's car and drove off, or disabled his phone at that point. But the FBI have a lot to go on at this point. My guess is he is a local. They should be able to track him down and capture him quickly. But this is Kash Patel's FBI we're talking about, so all bets are off.

I think because the guy in the images appear angry, Hands are gripped very tight in both images. Like in fists. LiberalArkie Sep 11 #13
Angry is a stretch, many reasons for bunched fists which might be momentary or tension, though I did notice them. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 11 #15
