Thanks for posting this. It's a good exercise to get ears and eyes tuned to the situation, even if it isn't the sniper in action in this incident.

I-270 traffic gets pretty crazy at rush hour, still no excuse for road roage.I-270 has traffic at rush hour? I always thought was a car show, inasmuch as everybody appears to be parked ....

It's bad enough that shooting on the road is attempted murder of whoever the target is. But it also risks causing an accident that can take many more lives.
To: Fred Mertz
Somebody was predicting this morning that the next sniper shooting would be off 270.

The shooting of the woman in Fredericksburg, VA was first reported on FR in just this way ...... before the news media had the story. Once something like this is posted then the story can be developed or discounted as the situation merits .... and details added ..... but often FReepers are in a position to see or hear news before there is a media source to link to.

I remember during the Cincy riots, someone posted a link to a local police scanner on the Web. If there are VA/MD/DC web links to police scanners, that would be helpful to those of us in flyover country.
I'm addressing this to all readers on this thread.

Man, this aint the time for road rage. People ought to keep thier anger in check until we get this nutjob/terrorist....Then we can return to normal.... Did you forget the sarcasm tag? Is there ever an appropriate time for road rage?

lol.......

Local website for WJLA also has a blurb on it but I can't get to them from where I am. Maybe you can have better luck.

I figured I didn't need one....:o

LOL. Milk and toilet tissue. You must know about the DC crises. She had to rush out to pick up the kids at the schools.

Wife just called and wanted to know what is inaccurate in the original post ? Wife called and wondered why you cannot read. No one was shot as was posted.

Falls Church is in Virginia. And just east (ST RT 50 and/or I-66) of yesterday's Manassas VA shooting.

A rumor is something you don't know to be true. A false rumor would be something you know is a lie. I don't think you are trying to say Battlecry was lying. This was clearly an attempt to offer us some breaking news just as quickly as possible. It came from his wife. I think he reason to trust her. Wouldn't you trust yours?

"Wife just called and wanted to know what is inaccurate in the original post ?" Wife left, said she just couldn't take it anymore. (That was in 1985 though.)
