I've used that station, it's not far from Koon's Ford alongside the Manassas Battlefield. I've always thought of that area as being quite safe...

Are you sure you have the right title? Heart of Darkness was the basis of Apocylpse Now.
Are you thinking about the lions that are in the Chicago Field Museum? The Ghost and the Darkness?

OMG...I think you are on to something....going back to re-read.

A card now....After Thursday, something changes...They make two hits but not kills and the "wounded" are 50 miles apart not within the little triangles of the early kills.
...either the guy got sloppy and missed a "kill" shot on the last two or there is a new shooter with a little different philosophy (which I think is the case).
They're probably fighting about the "stupidity" of leaving the card. Nevertheless, there's a possibilty that a call was made: "We left you a present, Mr. Policeman" which leads me to believe they also missed "stuff" at the earlier sites, concentrating on the sniper being in a vehicle rather than on foot with the driver of the vehicle acting as a spotter for the "sniper" telling him where to go to avoid police and witnesses. I'd guess they're using two-way radio units.

Sounds like the police are looking at a videotape. I think you're right. Because at first I'm wondering how on earth they knew this. But I bet this Asian fellow saw nothing. What nut would see a man get shut and drive off? Even a gun shot in this day and age?
Let's see.....a guy in a gas station, no witnesses, shot in head, dead. That the weapon was a shot gun being bandied about but as I recall that school kid was at first said to be shot with a handgun. I'm no gun expert, but I don't think you can tell or shouldn't deduce, right away, what kind of gun was used on a victim.
Even if it was a shotgun, yeah, the sniper could have changed guns. This doesn't yet look domestic or drug related. It looks suspicious is what I'm thinking.

***ABC 7 reporting a new witness police are questioning. He says he may have seen the sniper on Monday..He saw a man walking out of the woods with large bag, very calmly got in vehicle and left...This at the location of the PG county shooting of the 13 year old..****
Just "A Man" No ethnic description? If it's a true lead, this guy isn't white as they would have mentioned that.

"Yes... the Death card really does not mean death in a physical sense,"
. . .if you are sending a message of death, the tarot 'death card' can communicate the message of 'death' easily; no matter what how you look at it. . .death is transformation and transformation can be death. . .
. . .and the 'death card' is still the. . .'death card'.

The earlier shooting broke the window of a vehicle.That is the one from a shotgun.FOX is the only one that is saying shotgun in regards to this shooting at the gas station.CNN & MSNBC are saying this "seems" to be related to the sniper shooting.

I work in Kensington and I can tell you truthfully that not too many people I know are panicing. Lot's of people talking about it, but it's business as usual from what I can tell. I did volunteer to help walk the kids who take the bus to school into the school and the kids didn't seem scared at all.

I'd guess they're using two-way radio units. If they are, their communications can be intercepted. NSA, are you listening?

Sounds good. Either way, all 3 of us win.

FYI: Michaelmas was on september 29th...St. Michael's traditional position in the western church was leader of the heavenly armies.

You could be right....I didn't hear MSNBC report a shotgun, but I have been flipping channels back and forth I could have missed it.

"the serial shooters simply changed weapons."There are too many similarities to ignore. Single shot, no witnesses, clean getaway, mortal wound, gas station customer/random victim, no overt/crazy behavior or exhibitions, fits into the timeline of the ongoing shootings . . . and that's only what we know about !
There's really not much doubt in my mind -- I'd lay low until he's (they're) caught . . .

The earlier shooting broke the window of a vehicle. When and where was the earlier shooting? Got any links or sources?

"Are you sure you have the right title? Heart of Darkness was the basis of Apocylpse Now." I know. I don't think I'm wrong.

Another reason why the media should not panic the public. You're asking the Panic Pimps to stop using one if the most effective ratings boosters they know.
It'll never happen.
