CHARLOTTESVILLE -- State police say a sniper wounded two people and hit at least four cars on Interstate 64 near Afton Mountain this morning.

The injuries were not life-threatening and the victims were treated and released from Augusta Medical Center. More than 20 miles of I-64 was closed between Charlottesville and Waynesboro from shortly after midnight until about 6:20 a.m.

State troopers, Charlottesville police and Albemarle County deputies are searching wooded areas along the interstate, but no suspect has been found.

Just a crazy, or a minor terror plot? It’ll take a while to figure that out.

Everyone is a sniper.

Anything that goes “bang,” is an assault weapon.

And on and on and on. I would lend the article much more credibility if they discussed the effects of CO2 emissions by his weapon and how that impacts global warming. LOL

Hillary to campaign staff: “Quick! To Broomstick One. We have to get our motorcade running that stretch of highway. Fly, my monkeys, fly!”

MSM\'s idea of a high powered sniper rifle

That'd be a neat trick, Afton mountain is a long steep grade.

Local TV info-babe says she saw what looked like pistol cartridge casings., FWIW. I'm going with drunk crazy as my working hypothesis. He was probably so smashed that he doesn't remember doing it this morning.

I would like to point out that I was at Church until 2115 and drove straight home. May cats will confirm my alibi. (My wife was asleep, so she'll remember where I was when I tell her.)

In the meantime, let us all pray he didn't have a concealed carry permit.

Anyway, schools are closed. And parents and teachers are confused. My wife arrived at the school where she teaches and the parking lot had three cars in it. Twilight Zone.

He was “cleaning his gun when it accidentally discharged.

We had a local claim that defense when he was on trial for shooting his girlfriend in the face.

Pistol cartridge casings. We definitely need pictures.

BOLO for a white box truck, driven by an angry disgruntled white man.

Probably a fundamentalist Christian, who hangs out at gun clubs and has a Confederate flag in his garage.

Wasn't there sniper fire on several occasions in that same area a few years ago? It was on another road but the same area. I remember because I used to travel in that area frequently when I lived in Virginia. I wonder if it could be the same person involved?
