Note: In running an errand in Rockville tonight, I did notice that I had made a significant error when describing the scene of one of the murders in past threads. I was thinking of another gas station when recalling the location and surrounding landscape. The Mobil station where the cabbie was shot was not located directly across from Gate of Heaven cemetary. But the Mobil station is near several wooded areas where the shooter could have hidden. I also noticed that he could have chosen the same area to take his shot at the Michaels store.
This whole situation has gotten me pretty disturbed. My kids have friends who live in the area, and these kids are pretty rattled right now; not to mention how worried their parents are. And because I live in an area that has been historically a higher crime area, I have gotten into the habit of doing my shopping in the "safer" areas, like Aspen Hill and Bowie. I guess I may have to start shopping in Langley Park (the shooter would risk getting hit by stray bullets in drive-bys if he set up shop down there...plus the few parks around are frequented by homeless types who have left DC for the close-in 'burbs). But I digress...
