OCTOBER 4, 2002 12:02 PM Pacific Time : (”BELTWAY SHOOTERS” FREEPER REPORT — See AL FUQRA, MALVO, J A MOHAMMED) 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. by Steve0113
Note the timing of the shootings relative to the case of Beltway shooter Mohammed’s fellow Jamaat ul Fuqra terrorist , shoebomber Richard Reid:
OCTOBER 4, 2002 Friday : (SHOE BOMBER CASE, REID— See JAMAAT AL FUQRA) Prosecutors in Boston said they would ask for a sentence of 60 years to life in prison for Richard Reid, 29. Reid, a British subject who converted to Islam. He is accused of trying to murder the 197 people aboard a Paris-to-Miami flight on Dec. 22 by trying to light a fuse sticking out of his shoes, which contained explosives. - FBI Charges Six With Terrorism (one a member of US military) , Fox News , Friday, October 04, 2002
Did it ever come out in the trial why so many of his victims were at a Michaels?
