This was forwarded to me from a friend at work. I cant verify the writer's credentials, but I thought some guidelines for us in the DC area might be inorder.

Do any other FReepers have other safety tips?

Thanks for posting the letter. I found it to be pretty powerful and compelling and have fowarded to three family members that live in Fairfax and Loudon County VA.

I'm not how sure the zig-zagging in the doorways will be that effective. Sooner or later, you are going to have to get to the door. The sniper can just focus in on the door and wait until you get there before pulling the trigger.

This sniper knows it is a matter of time before he is discovered. He thinks he is superior to everyone, but knows eventually he will be caught. He is playing a very sick game that he feels he is winning. He will probably want to sensationalize his confrontations with the police and eventually stop running and have a standoff. The police may be his future targets.

I have to agree with at least this part of the email... Today... WHAT would have happened if they had him trapped in traffic and he decided to just start blowing away people that were trapped in traffic with him? Trying to corner this creep in traffic is a VERY BAD idea. This guy is probably expecting that he will get caught during the act or right after shooting someone and I would bet he is loaded with ammo and weapons on him everytime he leaves his vehicle to make a kill, just in case he is cornered. Not to mention how many weapons and how much ammo he may be carry inside his vehicle.

I also believe he has been leaving notes for the police after every kill. They found something today written on lined yellow paper. But I think the only notes the cops have found was the tarot card and then the note today.


I personally do not think he drives away from the killing right away after he does it... he may return to his car and then join in with others watching the cops show up and I bet he watches everyones actions. With every kill he is learning from what he sees and hears.

Love, it.
This way 50/50 he'll shoot your buddy instead.

How about

Interesting insight from a professional sniper.
