Was something long and rigid inside of a loose bag of some sort. And he was clearly concerned about not losing it. You are seeing what you want to see, he had the rifle as he ran away.

And this was clearly planned, so he might have already put the rifle on the roof or stashed somewhere in the building.

Couple of screws, that simple. And you could probably set it up with quick release if you wanted. So, what do you think? Silent Type Friday #18
