With the fire of one bullet Gaia has been thrown wildly into a state of panic. As corny as this may sound, I know for one thing that the Gaia Community threads are filled to the brim with updates, logical theories, wacked-out theories, and so much more over this one event. The issued statements the news reporter, Cindy Donovinh, gives to the public of Gaia lead the citizens to so many unanswered questions. Who was the sniper? Where did he shoot from? Why did the tower fall? And and even more pressing question.... Was Gambino the real target?
Many of you out there are probably saying, "Why of course Gambino was the real target, and everything that has happened has no hidden meaning." Now while this could be incredibly true, we cannot cross out the variables. All questions are, in fact, related to one another. This entry is seperated into three seperate parts to make it easier to go through.

Before we start asking questions, we must first find where the location of the sniper. There are many locations being thought up. First, I would like to say that the most obvious location is in Durem, as that was the scenary of the footage, unless it was from a city the Gaia admins have not revealed yet (which is unlikely). Here's the list of the most commonly pointed-out places:
1. The Clock Tower
2. The flat roofed building
3. The Van Helson's Mansion.
I'm sure we can easily cross out the Van Helson's Mansion. It is obvious that in the footage the sniper was shooting in an area where he could clearly see both the Cathedral and the tower. From the Van Helson's Mansion, the Clock Tower would of hid both of them.
Next I would like to cross out is the flat roofed building. Yes, he did fire from a flat spot, but in my own opinion, the flat roofed building is way too out in the open. Surely someone would have seen him from down below. Also, from that low a height, it'd be almost impossible to hit Gambino (assuming that's who the real target was). I've drew a mini diagram of this on MS Paint.
Mind you, when drawn the perspective is also much higher up than both the flat roofed building and the clock tower. But from this logical idea, it'd be pretty dumb to try and fire at something at that great a distance from a low standing point. The sniper would want to be as high as he could be when firing at Gambino. This is why I think that the Clock Tower is the most logical place. Besides this, from the clock tower both the chaple and the building could be seen easily.

Now that we have an idea of where the sniper fired from, who did it? I personally have no bias on who did. I won't try to decipher this one. However, I will give lists of the most commonly said NPCs (not in any specific order, just the ones that pop in my head that I've seen).
Common Suspects:
1. Edmund
2. Easter Rabbot
3. LabTechX
4. Meridith
5. Liam (?!)
6. Aekea's Robots
7. Ian (?!)
8. Gino
9. Random Sniper hired by another big power
By this time, almost everyone has been identified for this crime, but I've posted the ones that might make a bit of sense or just common answers. As of now, we can hardly rule out anyone.
Even though I said I'd put no bias in this, I would like to state one thing: it was definately NOT the Van Helson Sisters idea. Why, you may ask? From the footage released, the two girls obviously had NO idea what was happening when the tower was falling. Some could say that they're so dumb they forgot what they had people hired to do, but I seriously doubt it. The two are not that idiotic, they obviously have some brains. It seems that the sniper and the building crashing were both meant to be done together and planned. I'm sure the Van Helson sisters would have thought about that and would have been laughing about killing Gambino.

Lastly, the most difficult question to answer. Was this planned out the way we think it is?
Some say that the sniper was not aiming at Gambino and that he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. These people tend to think that he was actually aiming for the Van Helson sisters, since his gun was pointed away from the Gambino Tower. But if this is the case, who shot Gambino? Some people, as stated before, think is was actually Gino, because he related his father to "evil". However, I seriously doubt this, sicne he seemed to be rather happy when remembering his father.
Another, more interesting theory is that the REAL target was Gino. After all, he had just regained his memory at that exact moment. This could have been added in for a dramatic and sad effect, but what if that wasn't the case? Let's play along with this idea. From the angle Gambino was standing , he would have been shot in the side, an area that gunnres hate to shoot at because it doesn't do as much damage as if the target was hit in the chest directly or the head. Gino calls out to his father and Gambino turns to embrace his son. Blam. Gambino is shot in the chest, a shot that could have possibly been for Gino, who was standing right there as well.
Why Gino? Well, 5 months or so ago at the Holloween Event in Gambino's Mansion an explosion occured. Gino was missing. Why was Gino missing? We may never know now. But what if he stuck his nose in a place where it should have never gone? What if he knew too much, and whoever the sniper was knew that he'd regain his memories to retell it soon? That could be dangerous, and Gino had to be destroyed. Mind you, this could be a stretch, but it is also a reasonable possibility.
The last idea I heard is that the sniper is a hired hand from another power-hungry citizen of Gaia that wanted to cut out the competition. Kill Gambion to cut him out. Have the tower fall on the Van Helson sister's Mansion to make it seem like an accident. Two birds with one stone! How perfect would that be? This is also a strong possibility.

For about three days there has been no new information on this event. I'm sure that more information will reveal itself soon, and when it does, I'll be on top of things. If you have any other information to tell me, please do, I will surely try to add it in for others to see.
