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.

Plural?

I still can't believe more than ONE person is involved in this SICK crime (unless it's a terrorist cell)

I lways think sick crimes become even sicker when more than one person are working together to commit them. I can see criminals working together to rob a bank, but I can never believe it when serial or spree killers work together. Sick, indeed.

CNN reported the victim has died

[areafiftyone]

I can't figure out why on earth they haven't been yet -- since were in the middle of a war on terror and all

Because they don't think it is a terrorist. They probably think it is a homegrown serial sniper and that the police will eventually find him. But that is not the case - they never found the Zodiac killer.

Pucker factor just went up a notch

I know; I just tried to stand up, and my chair came with me.

[Diddle E. Squat]

The guy just died, dumbass.

From your post I got a distinct picture of a bunch of sheep grazing in a pasture.

Well that was quick. The Mayor was just live on Fox and said he was in serious conidition. Thats too bad if he died.

[mhking]

One of the reasons to call in is if you know anyone who owns a gun CASE

Gun grabbers are working quickly this morning...

[VRWC_minion]

I'd shoot back (or first, if drawn upon).

My brother is a SWAT team member and even he wouldn't be the hero you would be.

[seamus]

The victim is dead.

[fatima]

Too Sad.

[Rebelbase]

Thank-you. I had yet to be insulted today, now I can get back to work.

[Mo1]

No ... all the stations are confirming that he died

[pttttt]

Died.

So sorry. May the Lord be with the victim and the family.

[Freedom2specul8]

It won't happen..it just can't happen.

TOTAL RECALL

I heard that earlier, they seem to have dropped that recently. They are now looking for a white chevy van with a ladder rack.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Gee, dumbass, I have FoxNews on, dumbass, and the Mayor of the City, dumbass, was live on the phone with the reporter, dumbass, and said he was still in serious condition, dumbass.

[Quilla]

I hate to say this, but I think the killer has gotten away. Too much time has elapsed since the shooting and no word of an apprehension. Sure hope I'm wrong.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Thanks, 5 min. ago the Mayor said he was in serious condition.

Man on lawnmower, folks filling gas tanks ... Somehow the internal combustion engine fits into this scenario. Time to read "Earth in the Balance" ...

DC area. It all adds up. Al Gore finally lost it fully.
