I don't believe two shots has been confirmed.

I wonder if this guy is shooting people on his way to work, then shows up at work and goes on about his day.

Someone so cool about surgically offing total strangers might have no problem blending into the daily routine, totally unremarkable to those that work around him. Very creepy.

WHO IS THE GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND

I dunno, but isn't Kathleen Kennedy Townsend the Lt. Governor?

OK...Williams finds another Michael's connection. I will take back part of what I said, although I don't think it is a disgrumbled employee.

However, it could be someone who makes deliveries to Michael's or associated strip malls.

Meanwhile, Chief Moose announces school is dismissed in Montgomery County. State police and uniformed Secret Service will help monitor.

Seems to me that this is a tacit admission of terrorism.

Area search of what? This guy is not going to be hiding in the woods or waiting around do stick his tongue out at them when they drive by. They need to get a clue to whom they are searching for first. Unless they know something we don't.

This would indicate the shooter is using a bolt action rifle

unless, of course, the shooter is sniping from a closed environment, ie van, car, etc ...

WHERE IS THE GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND? GOVERNOR, WOULD YOU SAY A FEW WORDS TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS? IT'S YOUR JOB!!!

Bwahahaaaaa! You really expect that man to do something besides run-up debt and bed employees? Beside's it's Queen Kathleen's (the Lt. Gov) show now and she's too busy trying to make political hay out of this to console the state right now.

He may have seen the spent bullet.

There's a big difference in the appearance of a spent .223 bullet and a .22LR bullet. They are the same diameter but the .223 if it is a FMJ type will be copper-jacketed, long, and pointed. If it's a soft point hunting bullet it will be either mushroom shaped or broken up in several fragments. If is is a hollow point varmint bullet it won't be seen because it shattered into thousands of tiny fragments on impact. OTOH, a .22LR slug would be plain lead or copper wash coated, not jacketed, and it would probably be still round nosed unless it struck bone. If it was a hollow point or a hyper-velocity round it would be an irregular shaped lump of lead, or probably in several pieces if it hit bone close to the surface.

I have never seen a human wound from either of those rounds, but I have examined plenty of wounds on dead animals from both of them.

just a couple of paragraphs from a longer article: By Joseph Farah © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com

####An al-Qaida training videotape, captured in Afghanistan, shows Osama bin Laden's terrorists are not only planning attacks with weapons of mass destruction but are preparing to kill Americans with drive-by shootings and home break-ins, through ambushes of law-enforcement officers and targeted assassinations on golf courses, WorldNetDaily has learned.

"The major take-home lesson here is that although the enemy is known to be seeking the ability and opportunity to use weapons of mass destruction and of an unconventional nature, such as hijacked airliners, they are also spending a lot of time training to carry out attacks the old-fashioned way – attacks executed by small groups of dedicated personnel equipped with little more than small arms," explained Holschen. ####

. . .the only thing so far, that does not fit, is that they have not claimed responsibility. . .

. . .it is also possible, others have read more of the above; and thought. . ."I could do this". . .

"Guns & Ammo.... Shooting Times..... and Handguns on my coffee table.

Well at least you are not afraid to say so! I hope Pat Brown realizes that she makes herself sound like a gun grabbing leftist and that maybe she thinks only LE and folks like HER are priviliged enough to own weapons. What idiots like her don't realize is that there are MILLIONS of gun owners and magazine subscribers today who didn't SHOOT anybody.

Mine too. Western Outdoor News as well. I had to sign a certified letter last week - my pc mail carrier asked me if I was a "into" guns. I thought of Operation TIPS.

This is hitting too close to home...sister in law, her husband and 3 boys live in Bowie.

You and me both - my brother-in-law & his family are in Montgomery Co., my aunt is in Fairfax, and my wife and I used to live about five or six blocks from the DC shooting.
