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.

"Have started to flip back and forth between cnn,msnbc, and fox. Cnn just confirmed the victim died.I'm doing the same--FNC seems alittle behind this morning and some of the people calling in (pundits) are irritating

I agree....I'd change my MO and move on to different *opportunties*...gas stations are getting too risky.
To: TrappedInLiberalHell
He WILL be caught; it's just a cat and mouse game right now.
My prayers are with the all of the victims famlies.
To: 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.I'm inclined to agree with you. I figure he's gone to ground somewhere. Where? Who knows...

This ain't the time for jokes or flames. Thank you.

I once saw a show on TV that made a compelling case that he Zodiac killer was the Unibomber. Very strange.
To: RedBloodedAmerican
Your not reading the posts, seamus reported he died before the tv news did. seamus is reporting on this thread from a Fredericksburg newsroom.
To: aristeides
Sounds like the Pentagon is now involved Finally - the possibility that this was terror-related should have been at the top of the list.
To: RedBloodedAmerican
Mayor of the City Mayor of what city? Fredericksburg? I know him well. Good guy, but probably doesn't have a running update on what's going on at the hospital like our reporters do.

I think he would fight back, not run and get shot in the rear. At least, it seems a SWAT member would do that.
To: antidisestablishment
Are white vans cheaper or something? Anyway, AZ has cells. Stay vigilant. I would hope McCain would assist Bush getting the Homeland Security stuff passed. Seems we did the war resolution before the Homeland Security stuff.
I'd rather do the Homeland Security stuff first. FNC just reported the the Exxon victim DIED. God help us all. This is terrorism, no matter who the shooter is.

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.
CORRECT....reported by LE that it is BOGUS...channel 9 is way behind the loop, still reporting pt in serious condition when other stations say he is dead..
To: RedBloodedAmerican
Thanks, 5 min. ago the Mayor said he was in serious condition.Dead is pretty serious.
To: pttttt
One thing you might try while filling your gas tank is setting the clamp on the nozzle (so you don't have to stand there outside your car holding it)Not possible in my CT state because they are all removed. The best you can do is insert your gas cap to hold it. I don't know if the latches are removed in this area also.

Looks like suicide to me. If this turns out to be Islam related, we're all gonna be looking like that Georgia lady.

This is terrorism, no matter who the shooter is.Exactly. No matter what his "persuasion" is, he (she?) is a terrorist. Homeland Security should be in on this. Where's Ridge, anyhow?
