If people in the area aren't already 'real paranoid', they are in denial. If I were in the area, I'd send my family off on a trip.

Catching a bullet is a remote possibility. However, the outcome is serious enough to give even that small probability some considerable weight.

Assume for a second that it is a terrorist team, and they don't care about anything but one-shot results, and evading detection, in order to promote their scheme. Assume that they have some minimal level of training, and the disipline to adhere to it.

It could amount to a long siege. I certainly hope it doesn't.

And you are correct. If this continues, this will impact that entire region in many ways, even more than it is now.

Could this be a test-run for additional areas of the country? Does it have the markers of a scenario that could be added as a "copycat" for an additional area or (areas) if so, when will some solid conclusions be drawn.....if ever?

A sniper terrorist is killing us. Think what Israel has to endure. So far, no bombs.

Considering the population of the DC Metro Area, this guy could kill one person every other day for the next year, and you'd STILL have far greater chance of being killed in a routine traffic accident.
