Another broad-daylight shooting just occurred, this time in Fredericksburg, VA, just off I-95. It's not even on the news yet.
About an hour's drive south of where the Montgomery County shootings happened, a woman was shot in the parking lot of a Michaels fabric store. My wife was in the store at the time. The victim had left the store and carried her purchases to her minivan. She unlocked the minivan and was loading her stuff into it when she was shot. No sign of the shooter.
No one else was injured.
The woman was taken away in an ambulance, condition unknown. Her license plate (which I'm not going to post) indicated that she had several children.

I'm guessing this is planned, and they have serveral vehicles outfitted for this stunt. I would also bet they are registerd Dems.

Well, I stand corrected. I'm aware, though, that Maryland has very oppressive laws.
Forgive me if I laid on the macho bluster a little too strong, but seriously, I hope someone gets these bastards quick. Whomever they are.

Chiefly female customers, particularly mothers of school-age children.
But why would they pick a Michael's store twice? Some kind of grudge?

We'll see. Channel 9 local TV reports the shooting in Fredericksburg and says officials are now trying to see if it may be connected. they just don't know right now, I guess.

Your butt and mine too. Aside from catching these arsewipes, I pray they are not McVeigh clones.

Not true. All web servers log requests made by surfers. Normally included in the log files would be the IP address of the machine making the request ( loading web page).
Armed with the IP address you could then determine the ISP which "owns" the IP and potentially the user at the time of the request.

"White males my butt"White Whales? Why did you have to bring Michael Moore into this? Oh wait...nevermind.

What about installing cameras on the entries to such highways? Don't be going Big Brother on me, ari.
To: aristeides
But why would they pick a Michael's store twice? Some kind of grudge? It may just be that he/they picked a mall right off the highway. The mall parking lot offers clear shots from a distance and the highway offers quick escape route. Maybe the fact that the two malls they chose had Michaels stores is a coincidence.

Yes, exactly, but I recall reading that the first people to respond to the situation were guys who just had .22's in their trucks. A common thing in Texas today, and even in Austin at that time.
To: All
Does anyone know the race of the victims yet? Are any of the victims white? (I.e., could this be some racist person?)
To: OKSooner
As of right now all the kids are inside, and all the adults have armed themselves accordingly.
Police on the lookout for mid-size car
Tabitha LaRueWFLS NewsSpotsylvania Captain Michael Timm confirms that a young lady whose age is not yet known has been shot in the Michael's Carft store parking lot just outside the mall. He says the lady was putting pachkages in the trunk of her Toyota hatchback when the bulet, which does not appear to be from a high powered rifle, hit her in the lower back.. Rescue workers have identified an exit wound, and police are now looking for the slug.
She is concious and has been transported to Mary Washington.
The big question in residents minds is whether or not this incident is related to yesterday's shooting of five peopel in Montgomery County Maryland. Forensic technicians on the scene, say this incident does NOT appear to be related to those shootings.
A citizen who was nearby says he saw a light color, new, mid-sized car, possibly grey or silver, moving quicly towards the mall. Police say they are on the look out for this vehicle, and they are asking anyone who has any information to please contact them.

Everyone knows the perp is a white, male, right wing, evangelical Christian member of the NRA.

you've got to admit they seem to be awfully good at remaining invisible. I'll certainly grant that, but they've also been helped quite a bit by inept police, as evidenced by their obfuscation of the evidence by focusing on weapons with no known link to the crimes instead of emphasising the vehicle, which is the only real clue the police have at the moment
To: BCR #226
Thanks. I didn't see how that COULDN'T be the case.
To: twigs
It seems to me that the shooter is trying to pick out people who are doing daily, somewhat domestic tasks. And relatively stationary, to up his odds.
To: MissAmericanPie
Everyone knows the perp is a white, male, right wing, evangelical Christian member of the NRA Impossible. Such an individual wouldn't be caught dead driving a white Isuzu.

I agree....the choice of Michaels stretches coincidence even if it's not motive related.
