Similar subject, different town, the editors might consider looking up the sniper incident in New Orleans where a gunman perched himself in a Howard Johnsons hotel and shot several people before he was smoked out to the roof and eventually killed. I recall studing this case and the Detective Sergeant (IIRC?) who led the investigation of the entire aftermath did one heck of a presentation on the entire incident.
Still basking in the afterglow of Katrina, this story is worth keeping derranged snipers on the SWAT radar a while longer. I want to say this guy took some long shots out almost one click. Like the Texas incident, the PD opened the area gun stores and declared open season. The number of rounds fired and the conclusion of the incident are worth digging up.
