The Post article has witnesses reporting large "booms", but no sign of anyone running away or cars speeding away.

Seems like folk are looking for someone close by, with a handgun, when the loudness and lack of people seen fleeing would tend toward a large bore rifle some distance away.

I read in one story about the man who was mowing the grass had a hole in his chest that was about the diameter of a coffee cup rim, this was stated by someone that tried to help the man while he was laying on the ground dying. At first they said (witness who tried to help the man), they thought he hit something with the lawn mower and that it hit him in the chest. I don't know much about guns, but it seems like bullet hole left in the man's chest seemed to be large in size. What type of rifle or bullet would leave such a large hole the size of an average coffee cup rim? Unless he was shot at close range.

My guess is that this is a continuation of what began on 9-11. My only questions are what took the bastards so long and where will they strike again?

If these shooters were cautious and set their vehicle up properly, there'd be no need to flee quickly. They could hang around for some time until just before the cops showed up then slowly drive off.

And what BETTER place to wage a campaign of offing innocent victims than Montgomery County, MD and DC where only the cops -- and the bad guys -- are SUPPOSED to have guns.

The shooting in VA MAY have been a bad choice as I believe VA does have a CCW law on the books.

These morons MAY have some surprises if they try this crap down south.
