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.

I'll bet the investigators didnt want the victims' race identified. Here come more charges that the killer is a Right Wing Racist Nut Case.

Oh well......

I hate those sniper camoflage hats.

Which we referred to as *Cabbage Patch Hats*. The Israeli versions, known as *clown hats* to the troops, are no better, believe me.

Yes, they do, however the van may not be involved. It was seen at the scene.

Look for Jackson and Sharpton to make the case that the Black victims suffered more, and that somehow, Bush is responsible.

That would be the role of countersniper indeed. Albeit I'll suggest that all you state would be well used in a non urban environment such as a wooded area or jungle where all things human stand out like a neon sign to a good stalker.

But such methods has serious holes in the Asphalt Jungle involved here. I think if deployed in the numbers required to cover the DC/VA/MD area they'd be shooting each other and getting the right one would be analogious of winning the lotto.

Good points though, Stay Safe !!
