NEWSFLASH: Another shooting, approx. 9 AM, this time near Fredericksburg
The Free Lance-Star ^ | now | Jim Lakely

Posted on 10/11/2002 6:54:58 AM PDT by seamus

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.

Stafford Co. has now joined Spotsylvania Co. in having its schools in lockdown. I wonder if the authorities know more than they're telling us about a threat to schools.

I don't know if the latches are removed in this area also.

No, we still have them.

It has been a number of years now, but when I used to knock around that area, I used RT. 1 more than I95. Usually free flowing and not likely to stop like I95.

Are the LEO's blocking Rt.1 also?

Geesh!!

Do you think we can halt the petty spats here? All of us don't care - we want the news.

Insults just waste our time. There is freepmail if you just can't live another minute without attacking someone.

They have stopped all major highways here. This search involves a huge area. It's going to take some time before I'm willing to say that the perp got away this time.

I saw the same thing and I still think they may be one in the same.

Yep, I was listening/watching Fox news channel. It is quicker for me than this thread. I went with what the Mayor said. Is that wrong?

Knowing his previous posts, I took that for a spelling error. I do not believe he was being a smartass. Interesting concept that you brought up though.

Have you noticed how they stop the car in front of a white van and hold them there until they checkout the white van behind them?

It would sure make me nervous thinking the guy behind me might erupt into gunfire and I'm blocking his escape.

When I was a kid, all our field trips were to DC (Smithsonian, etc.). It was a rich experience for a kid. But if I still lived there I would have a very hard time letting my kids go on field trips to DC without worrying..alot.
