That's what I'm thinking. They should be able to tell right away based on the bullet wound.

Southwest of DC. Where the first battle of the Civil War was fought. Congressmen rode out in carriages with their wives to watch the battle and enjoy a picnic.

The perp has chosen yet another location in the DC area. What with the beltway and the interstates, he unfortunately has convenient access to a lot of real estate.

Yes, shotgun is only good for short distances, generally effective up to 40 yards or so.....Not a sniper weapon....

Of course, they mentioned he is a gun collector.

Has any mass murderer been a gun collector?

And possibly a shotgun? If true, it isn't related....

When is the last time you saw someone in the media that even knew the difference between a shotgun and a rifle?

I guess we will have to wait for more information.

The night shooting would be a new thing if it's the sniper, right? Did he shoot any other victims at night?

Posted this on other thread. Rt 234 completely blocked off -- it's 5 seconds from Rt 66. I drove past there about 8:55 pm tonight and was forced east on I-66 (I wanted to go that way anyway). Four helicopters in air now. White van/panel truck being looked at by police. People unable to get home. Area blocked off.

Charlie Warren on WMAL has been discussing this shooting for 25 minutes now. I have heard no mention of a shotgun.

Correct me if I am wrong, but a shotgun would have to be at a much closer range than the other shootings, right?

Unless it was a solid lead slug...longer range

Just a Sunoco gas station and victim was shot in the head.

Were they fueling up an SUV?
