All of the locations - except maybe the school, not familiar with that area - are on major access roads. Big 4 lanes with tons of traffic.

Easy in and out, lots of covering noise and background to blend into.

Get your gas off the beaten path.

I have another idea for those who live near the area: gas up during 10 am to 5 pm hours. This guy has a job and can't risk being missed from it. He has never shot during 10-5. Makes me wonder if he works retail because they don't open until 10 am.

School VERY close to US Rtes 50 and 301...shootings in Silver Spring were in congested area not really near a major highway (495/95 is near, but not that near).
