Profilers Say Maryland Shooter Will Strike Again (October 3)

Randomly shooting victims one at a time is like "emotional heroin" for whoever gunned down five people in suburban Washington, D.C., over the course of 16 hours.

Two former FBI profilers say the suspects won't stop killing until they're caught.

Clinton Van Zandt and Robert Ressler say one person probably did the shooting while another drove the getaway car.

Van Zandt says they're probably still on the move, and loving it. He says it's "get-even" time for two guys who "feel like they've been ditched by the world."

The profilers say the fugitives are probably white men, in their mid-to-late 20s or early 30s, with ties to the area -- Montgomery County, Md.

Both experts say crimes like this are generally solved by people who know the suspects and notice they've disappeared.

Five people were shot and killed in a Washington, D.C. suburb over a 15-hour period and police are trying to figure out if they are connected.

Police in Montgomery County, Md. say the shootings took place Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. A police spokeswoman says the timing and location of the shootings indicate that there is a "strong possibility that they are all connected."

Police said they are looking for two men in a white Isuzu SUV, a box truck with black lettering on it with damage to the tailgate.

Montgomery County executive Doug Duncan says they are using "every possible law enforcement resource" to find the killer of five people. Duncan says a reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for the arrest and indictment of the killer or killers. ..... ...."

Van Zandt also didn't think the LAX shooting was terror-related. I wish Fox would get rid of him and hire Steve Emerson. I'd be interested to know Emerson's thoughts on this.

So much stupidity distilled into so few lines.

Not you, Shermy, but the article you quoted.

Topped off with calling a box truck an Isuzu SUV.

It boggles the mind.

So, this is the third day this has been going on and these guys are "still on the move"? If so, they haven't moved very far, plus they took both nights off for a little shut-eye. They sure are picking their spots and targets well. That hardly sounds like a couple of wacked out kill-all-the-f***ing-world nutjobs to me.

Somehow, these killings seems quite deliberate and planned,... planned perhaps for their very randomness and untraceability. Clues seem to be almost nil. That is unusual.

Van Zandt obviously thinks the possibility of a terrorist operation is too over-the-top to mention!

Of course, the FBI maintained the LAX shootings were the work of a deranged individual, too. Or, at least that was their unwavering stance to keep the sheeple undisturbedly grazing until the heat died down. Wouldn't want anybody taking the law into their own hands, would we?

Hearing about the profile of these guys and that they will keep doing this is causing me to be in a simmering (but not quite full blown) panic mode.

I grew up in Rockville and have sisters, family and friends in the area. Couldn't reach my sisters yesterday a.m.. One lives 5 minutes from yesterdays shootings. She told me last night she frequents the Mobil station where the Indian gentleman was killed. It was a good thing I didn't know that yesterday a.m.! When I heard a woman vacuuming her car at a gas station was killed I got very worried. My sis does that because of her pets with regularity.

My other sis who works for Montgomery Co. PD finally called and said they were all OK. after I left worried phone messages for her.

Doug Duncan was a neighbor and I knew his sisters well through HS. This has just all hit me so close to home way out here in PHX. I have been glued to FoxNews which is probably making me crazier.

My prayers are with the families of everybody lost.

I suspect the shooter had something more like a 72 Virgin reward in mind, rather than smack.

Or killed by an "innocent bystander". Catching them is going to be darned hard, if only the police particpate.

How much for their heads or ears? These guys are likley into the 72 virgins bit, they won't be arrested, unless they are disabled first, even then they may go out like a Palistinian or Saudi.

So, profiling is ok if you suspect the perp(s) are white? Hmmmm.
