NEWSFLASH: Another shooting, approx. 9 AM, this time near Fredericksburg
The Free Lance-Star ^ | now | Jim Lakely

Posted on 10/11/2002 6:54:58 AM PDT by seamus

I work in a newsroom in Fredericksburg, and they heard on the police scanner that a person has been shot at a gas station at "Four Mile Fork" which is a neighborhood just south of the City of Fredericksburg.

No details yet, but I wanted to let y'all know -- and keep up the tradition of FReepers getting news first.

Pray for the victim, and pray that this is a random shooting, and that this monster's terror has not widened yet again.

Don't know anything about guns. Never even held one.

Ah...you don't know what you're missing!

Mother...is that you?

I THIS the story {apparently an online work in progress) you were talking about?

...Knucks looks up to notice a playing card pinned to a tree by a small knife, it was an old tarot card with the grim reaper handing some poor guy a card, with the words "Traitor" written underneath.

Brandaman shivered. ...

Good.....there is no "high road" with our foes. Such high road behavior is percieved as weakness.

The only thing that speaks against islamonazis is the fact that this is NOT happening in the 'burbs around NYC, Cleveland, LA, Detroit, etc. etc. at the same time. Talk about a nationwide paralysis...but, they still rank high on my list for these snipings.

I used to have a computer that would wipe out TV channel 5 (signal from a rooftop antenna). After I transferred the components to a decent quality case (an AOpen), you could barely tell that the computer was on when watching channel 5.

Unfortunantly, there are a lot of cheap junky computer cases on the market that don't have the shielding to prevent interference...

Or maybe the shooter is an ex cop

I've been wondering too\. "I am God" ties in with Mark Furman's comment and maybe the reason for the Dear Policeman wording.

Montgomery Co. cops hear one of the first shots -- it was just across Randolph Rd. from a police station.

No I'm not not your Mother. I just never had need for a gun. My husband has all sorts of stuff, scary-looking stuff.

I'm am, by nature, absentminded and klutzy. Trust me, I should not be near guns.

This: Looks like a scary weapon to me.

What difference does it make how it looks? I hear this all the time from the gun-grabber crowd. Oooh, it's scary looking. I'm tellin' ya, any gun with a muzzle pointing in your direction is "scary looking". The gun-grabbers just love to ban "ugly-looking" guns, and this is one of them, based on its looks. A black gun. That's what I meant. It seems that your comment about the "scary looking weapon" would have sparked a lot of reaction. Usually does.
