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.

Why is the news today calling these sniper style shootings?Can you fire a high-power .223 from a handgun?
To: Steve0113
Thank you so much for the first hand report. So glad your wife is okay. If she is up to it, perhaps she would consider calling Fox news to give them her report.

the parking lot of a Michaels fabric storeI'm beginning to think that security cameras on top of privately owned stores might not be a bad idea.

"Can you fire a high-power .223 from a handgun?"
You can I believe Thompson Contenders are available in .223.

If she is up to it...I think all she's up for is a stiff drink at the moment.
To: The Federal Farmer
No, it's not impossible to do this with a handgun. Any scoped .223 handgun is capable of doing this.
To: MudPuppy
How far in miles is this to the shootings from yesterday?
To: Steve0113
Your wife was in the store? Wow! Hold your wife a lot tonight.

Completely understand that...I'm sure it would apply to me in that situation.

The reports talked about a .223. I don't know if that's a spent .224 bullet or a .223 cartridge case they found. We still don't know if it's from a rifle or handgun.
