To avoid multiple vanity threads regarding any news that comes from press conferences, let's keep a live commentary thread going again today.

My Dad lives in Charlottesville. He frequently rents cars to travel to DC and back for DoE meetings. I can't reach him and I am worried.

I'll try, Molly Pitcher. The list is currently in my Freepmail and I can't revise it from there. Will try moving it and revise it then. (Can you tell I'm new to this ping stuff?)

What does he look like?

[Neets]

Am praying hard for you sweetie...

[Peach]

Cynderbean - the car didn't look like a typical rental car, but I imagine you can call the local police in Manassas (sp?) and ask them to check the plate - rental cars generally have special plates. We will keep a good thought for you and your dad. If you get a chance later, please let us know when you hear he is okay. Regards

[Miss Marple]

Oh, dear. Prayers for you.

THAT's why Moose acted angry...like it was an accident that it got it out. I haven't read the thread yet and I'm likely repeating others' thoughts.

Hope they show it just so ALL can see the handwriting. Someone just might recognize it..parent, relative, friend.

I thought about it last night. It seams that he is zeroing his weapon on the pumps because he knows the victim will be standing there openly for a few minutes. Real easy shot, spider to the fly type thinking.
I would bet a stack of bills that if the station has surveilance cameras on the pumps you could rewind for a while and see some jerk scanning the tree line from the same exact pump as the victim.

Call the tip line at 1-888-324-9800. If they don't have the information, ask them to direct you to someone who does.

Post #352 has 2 pictures

[Sacajaweau]

Competition between two shooters?? Don't think they would be using same weapon...Each would use their favorite weapon.

[Flint]

Can't wait until the leftys figgure out how to blame Rush for this.

[Sacajaweau]

Competition between shooters:

May I suggest a duel!!!

PICTURE OF MAN BELIEVED TO BE LAST NIGHT'S VICTIM...Check out post #352 on thread entitled
BREAKING: One more shooting in DC area.

Sorry that I don't know how to make the connection for you...remembered from last night that there was a picture of the victim.

God be with you and your Dad...please let us know when you find out anything...

[Peach]

What about two sleeper cells, each with two guys, and one decides to leave calling card to identify which hit is his? Two guys seen fleeing last night's shooting - hard to envision two homegrown nuts working together like this, but know I'm stretching.

Peach...first of all, thanks for all your great reporting and comments...

One thing that I haven't seen considered but keeps bugging me...there could be more than 2 people in the vehicle at any given time. Whether a truck or a van, there could be others hidden in the back...thoughts?

[Peach]

In that pic, there is another man approaching victim. Patches on shirt of man approaching victim looks like cop or gas station attendant, although when was the last time we saw a gas station attendant outside helping customers?

Hmmmmm. Not often.
