Copycat or the real thing? Is this just to keep us looking over our shoulders? If so, it seems to be working.

I wonder what school attendance will go to, 25% or less?

My guess and it is a guess is this is another calling card by the same sniper. At present the only people who can do more than speculate are the investigating officers.

If it is Islamo-facists I doubt that mosyt of the police agencies will be able to even consider investigating that aspect until some concreat evidence surfaces that an Islamic-terrorist cell is behind this. We can not allow profiling on ethnic grounds.

It could be anything at this point--even drug related. But the Washington Times printed this on Oct. 4:

U.S. intelligence agencies received reports this week indicating Islamic terrorists have targeted American schools for attack, intelligence officials said.

The reports indicate that the targeting includes plans to attack all levels of educational institutions in the United States, ranging from elementary schools to colleges and universities, said officials familiar with the reports.

The information on schools as terrorist targets is among the scores of threat reports received by U.S. intelligence agencies every day. Some officials questioned the veracity of the report but said U.S. intelligence agencies have to weigh all the reports

We can't discount the possibility yet.

That's the thing. We know copycats exist. But we also know that there are cells all over the country, too. The shooter may have more than one type of weapon. Going to be difficult to rule out a lot until there are witnesses, and desriptions.

Shots fired at a Wal Mart, same area.
