Spotsylvania Captain Michael Timm confirms that a young lady whose age is not yet known has been shot in the Michael's Carft store parking lot just outside the mall. He says the lady was putting pachkages in the trunk of her Toyota hatchback when the bulet, which does not appear to be from a high powered rifle, hit her in the lower back.. Rescue workers have identified an exit wound, and police are now looking for the slug.

She is concious and has been transported to Mary Washington.

The big question in residents minds is whether or not this incident is related to yesterday's shooting of five peopel in Montgomery County Maryland. Forensic technicians on the scene, say this incident does NOT appear to be related to those shootings.

A citizen who was nearby says he saw a light color, new, mid-sized car, possibly grey or silver, moving quicly towards the mall. Police say they are on the look out for this vehicle, and they are asking anyone who has any information to please contact them.

Thank God she's alive, anyway.

Why don't I believe these guys? During yesterday's reports we waited forever for some sort of ballistic forensic info; and now these guys make a determination within two hours? My bs sensors have been alerted.

Well, if a different vehicle is being used now, that says very little about whether today's shooting is by the same perps and/or is part of the same plot.
