Smaller the bore the higher the pitch. Shorter barrels of the same caliber are louder. The amount of powder is in relationship to the volume. Sonic booms sound like breaking a wooden dowel.
The description of a .223 sounding like a rock falling on a tin roof is accurate.

And chose not to get the trooper! A most salient point for all those arguing the terrorism angle (either way you read it).

Let me speculate here: could this be an indication of shooting from a room/the parking lot of the motel? Or the sound was amplified and directed by the acoustics of firing from inside the bed of a truck or inside a van.
Resport last night said the gun was an M-16 or AR-15. Don't think the report of such gun in open space would make the sound he's describing...but opinions about whats "loud" differ bettween people.

...pray that this is a random shooting,...Interesting turn of phrase.

A reporter on the scene was asked about that. She said she could see how it was possible that the shooter did not see the trooper.

I heard a former FBI guy say the other day that profiling has NEVER solved a case....good police work does.....I don't know if that is true, but I thought it was interesting considering that the FBI has profilers. LOL! Good police work RARELY solves a crime like this (stranger murder). This guy is cunning. There are only two ways this guy will get caught:
1. Sniper makes a mistake and is caught (leaves a witness behind, gun is traced, etc.)
2. Sniper is turned in by an informant. See Ted Kazinski (sp?)
Beyond that you can pretty much forget about catching this guy. See the Antrhrax Killer for another example of what a clever evil person can do.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

From what I could tell road blocks on the near DC bridges went up pretty quickly. Don't know about Leesburg or Benidict area.

This guy had to see that Trooper across the street when he was sighting the victim......and took the shot anyway.. I don't know if he had to see the Trooper. I think it more likely if he had, he would have driven away before shooting.

If they did release the ID of the perp as a Muslim all hell would break loose.

Its not simply a check on works of fiction people have written.
Its a check on the fantasies of sniper role-playing games.
with parallels specific to the sniper in Maryland.
Big difference.

This is horrifying. Please not let any more children be hurt.

"The description of a .223 sounding like a rock falling on a tin roof is accurate."On the lighter side, I'm getting spooked with my window open. Every time an achorn comes down on my metal shed I jump. That oak is outta here next year. LOL

Have considered terrorism from the beginning...if there are people in the van recording these horrific events, you're right, it could be for use in training/recruiting videos for AQ.
God protect us!
