I'm looking for filtered for intentional, planned, and specifically targeted killings rather than say where the objective of the initiator is a mugging or making an arrest. Anecdotal observation of the news over the years suggests to me a serious dearth of 'snipers in the bushes' variety of murder. Especially for a specific target (rather than random targets of opportunity, like the serial killer in Washington DC a number of years back).
Note that I'm talking civilian here, not battlefield situations. P.S. I know this messageboard also tends to have a higher than average number of law enforcement professionals, so even your anecdotal observations from your work would be appreciated. |
