[edit] Plot
A Marine recruiter is shot in his office in Washington D.C., NCIS is called to investigate. Abby determines that from the angle and power of the shot, the weapon most likely used was a sniper rifle. The next day, another Marine recruiter, this time in Maryland, is shot in the same fashion, except for the fact that Abby thinks the shot was fired from a car, rather than a building like the first incident. Since the two Marines were shot in different states, the FBI claims they now have jurisdiction. However, before they leave, the NCIS team recovers the bullet and determines it was fired from the same weapon as the one that killed the D.C. recruiter. They also recover a white feather, which they suspect might be the killer's "calling card." This is confirmed when they find the same type of feather at the D.C. Recruiting center. In order to catch the shooter, Gibbs poses as a Marine recruiter, with Kate posing as his commanding officer. Tony rigs three sensitve microphones to telephone posts so that Abby can triangulate the position of the shooter. After a long day of Kate analyzing everyone that talks to Gibbs, they discover the shooter is the water-delivery man. At that moment, a shot is fired, only to be stopped by the new bulletproof glass in the recruiting center. The shooter's, position is located, and he is killed in the attempt for his arrest.
[edit] Notes
Gibbs mentions that the white feather is a trademark of Carlos Hathcock, a Marine sniper in Vietnam with 93 confirmed kills to his credit. Hathcock was nicknamed "Long Tra'ng du K'ich" (White Feather) by the Vietnamese.
