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 don't know if you've been pinged yet on this so...

Ping!

Stay safe.

Massasponax. It's near Fredericksburg. Lafayette Blvd (US 1 business) heads right into it, I think, where the road changes names to Courthouse Road as it crosses US 1.

FNC - local reporter in Fred VA, man pumping gas at Exxon station, several vehicles around the area stopped and being searched.

These crimes are probably recorded on satellite images having advanced optics/cameras onboard. Just review the tapes for those days when the crimes were committed and there was no cloud cover.

It's obvious your entire knowledge of spy satellites comes from bad movies. Why do people think they're "cool" when they spout complete garbage about military/espionage stuff on FR?

[relee]

Heavy cloud cover and lots of rain today. Not good satellite picture taking weather.

Fredericksburg? Maryes Heights? Sunken Road?

Good place to hunker down and squeaze off a few rounds.

When I pump gas now... I whistle dixie and fondle my “package”.

I'm sure it won't fend off a bullet but I feel better.

If you sent retards into the woods, they would find more clues than the police.

Paid hacks waiting to retire!

[GEC]

Be patient.

Keep listening.

[Peach]

Where did you hear VA police confirm a person was shot?

[Freedom2specul8]

Golly there are A LOT OF WHITE VANS being pulled over...

[Constitution Day]

the girls have soccer games this weekend....kinda wouldn't mind if they were cancelled.

No problem.
Y'all take care... stay safe.

The white vans have all been different makes and models. I think that's part of the planned terror and hard to single them out because there are millions of white vans.

UBL at it again. No word on the condition of the innocent victim pumping gas. He's a male. Transported to Fredericksburg hospital.

caller on FOX conforms a man was shot

[Merovingian]

LOCAL FOX channel 5 reports confirmation of one person shot...

How does TV/radio announcement of where these roadblocks are help in the search? Why tipoff the perps where to avoid?

[two23]
