This guy is a big problem for any PD, they’re probably going to have to bring in some other military snipers to hunt him down.

He was in the Navy. Yeah, they have SEAL training, but we have no reason to believe that this was his role or that he rec'd any other 'high-speed' training.
Something tells me that was a fair amount of sensationalizing at work by the media. He appears to be a qualified expert marksman, but if you gave me a week or so to get back into shooting form, I could possibly qualify expert as well. It takes a very good shot, but not a great one.
And being a qualified marksman damn sure doesn't make you a 'sniper' in the sense that we think of; a guy hiding in bushes with windage instruments covered in deer piss so he doesn't spook the local fauna.
He's going to be a tough target, but lets not act like he's about to start dropping guys at 1,000 meters or anything.
