Charles,

My best recollection on one of your posts on this subject says that there was no reason to think that the bullet attack on Cantor’s office was targetting it. Indeed, it appeared true as even the police report thought it was a stray bullet.

With this man’s direct video statement (that “your office has received my bullets” or somehing to that effect) there is now reason to believe Cantor was targeted. I’m assuming the video with the statement was posted after the the attack was made (might be worth checking). I’m also assuming Cantor was aware of the video when he was talking about the bullet in his office.

The police statement said the bullet had been fired into the air and struck the windowsill on the way down.

A more likely explanation, assuming that the police statement was accurate (and I’m sure they tried to make it as accurate as possible, it was a high profile story), is that Leboon decided to take credit for the incident after seeing the news reports, and that he actually had nothing to do with it at all.
