I had forgotten about Jessup Blair Park being close. Aren't there pretty big parking areas on Eastern Ave.? Would they also be within sight of the shooting scene?
It's a pretty open area, with a few strip shopping areas, a KFC/Taco Hell with a parking lot... I don't know the exact location of the shooting, I think I heard that the elderly man was at a bus stop. If it was northbound GA Ave, there is a stop right at Eastern Ave, and backs up to Jessup Blair Park. Southbound GA Ave stop is maybe only 25 yards further away from the park.
My son's old school buddies live in Aspen Hill, and they're a bit concerned for their safety, too. I'm beginning to understand how the Israelis feel.
