Yes way.

Shot from elevated position,  roof top, using a macmillan TAC-50 sniper rifle (?), took less than ten sconds to reach target. Shot has been verified through video analysis and "other" data.

I think somebody else shot him before the 50 hit. Good story though.

They used an American 238 grain bullet and cartridge. Fast burn propellant and a stable flight = hit.
