um..... the newest shooting was only 4 mi. from my house, 2 mi. from the kids school and is smack in the middle of my stomping grounds. i pass that Home Depot about 10 times a day or more. We used to live about .25 mi. down the road from it, 4 years ago. i am officially scared now.

the puzzling thing is WHY THERE? it is a high density, total gridlock area. While only 2mi. inside the beltway, there are a million lights and tons of people in between. i do NOT see how they were able to get away quickly. Going straight would take them directly into Arlington, complete with a million more lights.
