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.

Can you tell me about how far this is to the gas station shooting two nights ago....

...white male in a white truck or van.

thought 'non-white' perp was gen'l consensus

[SunnyUsa]

thanks....I have FOX on (they haven't mentioned it) I have great fear he'll shoot & kill to avoid capture.

I am praying so hard they catch him today...

Anyway, the signal went out to "hurt our economy". Gas stations = oil. The tarot card is to throw the cops off that this is a serial killer. This of course, is just my opinion.

But it is a good one.

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

I find it fascinating that you're able to insult those putting their lives on the line for little piss-ant pieces of crap like yourself as you bravely sit behind your precious little keyboard, pounding away your jibberish on an intimidating keyboard. How impressive!

If this were in Florida, the national guard would have been called out after the second shooting. Glendenning is not showing any leadership at this time if he ever has during his tenure. KKT is not visible either. Where is the national guard?

[mystery-ak]

My fear is that if he escapes this search, he will change his MO...God knows what he will do next.

I agree Valleygal!

All, please join our prayer thread...when 2 or more gather in his name.........

CNN - reporter at Exxon station, 30+ law enforcement vehicles present, victim may have been sitting in car or pumping gas, mini-van on scene being looked at ...

[LiberalsWorstNightmare]

WMAL Radio has people on interstates in the MD, VA, and DC area calling in with eyewitness reports. On Interstate 66, near Centerville, VA, a white van fitting the description perfectly (a Chevy van) was pulled over, 4 policemen approaching with shotguns drawn. Of course, all such vehicles are being pulled over. 4 policemen have a white van with rack also pulled over on the Beltway in Md. So again, everyone is being pulled over

Re:"A reporter just told me that the shooting victim has died. He was taken to a hospital just a few miles from the shooting, but they couldn't save him."

Thoughts and prayers to his family and loved ones.

Just damn.

"A reporter just told me that the shooting victim has died. He was taken to a hospital just a few miles from the shooting, but they couldn't save him.

I haven't heard this yet ... Prayers for his family, what a MONSTER this sniper is!

[Mo1]

I don't think he will change his MO .. he hasn't yet

[relee]

I don't think they have the tag #. They do know it's a white chevy astro van with a ladder rack and writing on the side.

[Amore]

gas station attendants are on their last bit of nerves too.

Oh, come on, Kim, do they even MAKE "gas station attendants" anymore? :- )

Don't most of them sit indoors, often behind bullet-proof glass?!

[mhking]

Can you tell me about how far this is to the gas station shooting two nights ago....

A good 30-40 miles.

[VRWC_minion]

Where is the national guard?

They should be stationed at every filling station.

Fox saying they have stopped a vehicle in Alexandria but could be nothing, they say...
