Well, this is right where I work. Our security people are telling people to stay inside. I'm sure the demoncrats will want MORE gun control laws!

Add to that list:

- At 8:12, at the Mobil gas station on Aspen Hill Road at Connecticut Avenue, a man pumping gas was gunned down
- A half-hour later at the post office of the Leisure World retirement community, a woman was shot in the head.
- Another fatal shooting was reported at 10 a.m. at a Shell gas station on Knowles Avenue at Connecticut Avenue.

I work a little bit further out in Shady Grove area but we're being told not to go out at lunch. Montgomery County schools are in Code Blue lock-down.

I was raised in this area and my family still lives there. All I can say is when something like this happens just pray. I know for certain that pray works and is very powerful.

I pray that G-d gives the police knowledge either through a witness or by some other means, as to who and where this person is. I pray that this evil person doesn't kill anyone else before he's caught and I pray he is caught soon. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen!!

At 7:41 am Thursday, a Hispanic male on a lawn mower was shot and killed near the 11,400-block of Rockville Pike.

Yikes! That is just up the road.

Watch for Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (Demo candidate for MD Governor) to trumpet this event and bashing Bob Ehrlich (GOP candidate for MD governor) who has raised the question of what good have the gun laws done (one or two of the MD laws that have been around for years have resulted in NO arrests since the adoption of those laws). Now the question should be: why didn't our gun laws prevent these random murders?

They aren't saying how many shots are being fired just repeating, shot and killed, shot and killed, shot and killed, 5 times. No one shot and injured so whoever it is must be a good shot to apparantly drive by and shoot to kill. Poor souls. Prayers that they find the shooter soon.
