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.

If this guy stays on Rte. 1, he'll eventually pass the Pentagon.

No way - too much traffic on 1 - he'll have to bail either onto 95 or onto some other road.

Location is reported on TV 5 as South Forks.

[OXENinFLA]

I hope they catch this person today. And have to remove his body from the scene in a BODY BAG .

I don't want to think what will happen if he is taken Alive.

Emergency situation on I-95. Masaponix is mentioned THis from CNN doing live pix of I-95.

[Fred Mertz]

Nothing on cable yet...FNC, MSNBC.

They're confused. It happened in an area called Four Mile Fork, which is south of Fredericksburg.

[Freedom2specul8]

Has any folks from that area heard about stolen van reports?

[Crowcreek]

"That was fast. I wonder if they snooped Free Republic to get my info"

The second-hand stores are full of scanners -- All the cops and reporters on the street are using the wireless web to connect to FReerepublic.

Katie Couric is still talking about yesterday . . .

Scary that he may kill someone else in his van at high speeds. This guy is toast.

[Dog Gone]

I'd like to hear the condition of the latest victim.

[relee]

TV 9 reports traffic is being stopped on the beltway in tysons and they are showing photos of the mixing bowl and the police have traffic stopped there too.

It's all in the lighting - I've been lucky enough to be able to kill the flourescent light above, leaving me with just the trog-style lighting at my desk...

I had it that way for about a year. I used to go home at night just as fresh as I went in the AM.(I am a software developer). Till some weenie complined for months on end, and instead of fixing it, they just hardwired the overheadsn ON so they never go off.

[Steve0113]

FYI, it's spelled Massaponax.

[Freedom2specul8]

Thanks Fred... Fox news channel just had an alert...

[relee]

They are pulling over white vans.

[LiberalsWorstNightmare]

[kcvl]

Fox News reporting now...

[GEC]

Thank you SO much for posting this so timely.

My son and I are scheduled to head into the general combat zone this afternoon.

It would make my month if they nailed this guy before we entered the area.

Thank you again!

[kristinn]

Thanks. Massaponax, that sounds like the name of the town they said.

[vin-one]

I WANT HIM TO LIVE AND BE PUT IN GENERAL POPULATION UNTIL HIS EXECUTION
But in VA I think they use lethal injection now.
