JUST BREAKING!!! Police confirm another shooting. But are not sure if it is related.

[jpthomas]

Connecticut Avenue in DC, at a bus station.

[areafiftyone]

Hopefully not related

Per CNN, shooting in Montgomery Cty, at the intersection of Grand Prix Rd and Connecticut Ave. Not in DC proper, but nearby.

Weird. I just now woke up and was about to take a shower (for real). Then this.

[nicmarlo]

Me too... thought they were show past footage,.......till I saw "live." This is crazy.

[areafiftyone]

I am about to go in the shower. Hate this cause I will miss being on the thread. I can't believe the shooter now wants ransom. This is definately NOT AQ or ME terrorists. It is some greedy psycho. This makes me madder than hell that he wants blood money.

[leadpenny]

Imus is reporting that it is a "Ride On" bus driver.

[nicmarlo]

They're saying shots occurred at 6 a.m. at bus stop...not sure from within or outside of bus.....or if it's related.

Same here. Off to work, hope they catch the son of a gun dead.

the shooter now wants ransom

They're now talking about money....apparently a note was left with a 3-day warning....time has "expired," now this...

[jpthomas]

I'm not so sure he really wants the money, or is simply playing with the police. If this had been the motivation from the outset, the demand would have come earlier. "Pay up, or I'm shooting another one." "You didn't listen, so my price just doubled". "And doubled again". And so on.

Gosh, this stinks. Prayers for the person shot regardless of who did it.

[Brytani]

Fox just reported the shooting is in the Aspen Hill area, what a slap in the face to the police and fbi. Hit the same area twice. (if it's sniper related of course)

[Brytani]

I have to leave for work in an hour too. I hope at some point today I hear they actually have caught the person/people who are doing this.

[EnquiringMind]

Are we sure that it's only money they are asking for? Doesn't fit...must be more to this.

[LowOiL]

Prayers for the person shot regardless of who did it.

You are so right Glory. Prayers for the victim first, God's justice second.

[wewillnotfail]

That's what I thought too but then I considered that if the money flow has been cut off, well, terrorists need to eat too? Maybe it's wishful thinking since I can't remember there ever being a pay off that didn't result in an arrest. There just is no way to pick up cash without being caught.
Hmmm...maybe electronic transfer?

[areafiftyone]

This guy might have an agenda but now that he wants a ransom this makes it more sick!!! But definately Not ME AQ. Ransom is just not their thing. This is really making me mad!!!

Shooting locale corrected to intersection of Bel Pre Road.
