Not necessarily a professional, because unlikely things do happen. They must. You have to suspect that they were a trained shooter to get that lucky at that distance but a LOT of people who are not professional assassins in any sense* have well-practiced shooting skills. In the narrow sense of the phrase, only a tiny fraction of the highly-skilled shooters have ever killed a person for pay in the private sector.
