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.

Please see #514 and #602 for 2 possibilities of companies with those names. There must be others too.

I agree with those who believe that Glendening and Warner should get off their asses and activate the national guard.

I;ve never tried the latch-on gas pumps. I stay with my vehicle and use my debit card unless I'm thirsty. I have enough trouble here at FR & with my own web site.
I haven't had an opportunity to try the other method. I have to get out to take off my gas cap anyway so, it wouldn't help would it?

I don't think he could get into RFK stadium, but the parking lot would be ideal.....
Wouldn't do him any good if he did get into RFK. The Skins moved to FedEx field 5 years ago :)
To: Joe Hadenuf
I think that is probably true. He he probably drove 2 blocks to his buddy Appu's place, and now they are kicking back drinking jasmine tea, beating Appu's wives, and putting a cheerleader outfit on Appu's goat.

Some of the Policemen might work undercover and getting their picture on TV or in the newspaper might not be healthy.
Self preservation for some.

i wonder if there's any listing anyplace of the rifling specs on popular .223s. because that could narrow things down considerably -- wonder, for instance, if the mini is the same.

Many thanks for your reports--much appreciated.
To: Naspino
I wish the media would stop hypothesizing on the next BEST target for the sniper to drive fear into the hearts of the people.You know better than that - the rule still applies: If it bleeds, it leads.
While everyone is speculating on the 'Skins-Saints game, I'd say to watch everywhere else during that timeframe. DC becomes a ghost town when the 'Skins are in town/on TV. That would be the best time to strike...somewhere.

Interesting that this happened soon after the new AQ tape releases and after the Buffalo cell busts... And, during the votes on giving Bush authority to go after Saddam. (If there is a connection or future connection with AQ and Saddam, wouldn't they want to protect their source of WMD, chemicals, biochemical weapons?)

If Warner activates, maybe that well get Glenspending off his a**. I think the feds are telling them to play it cool, precisely so as not to give the public any ideas about terrorism.

Is this the start of some kind of pattern? Last Friday the shooter was in Fredericksburg. Just throwing that out there...
To: aristeides
WRC-TV 4 reporter on scene of shooting reports investigators wearing FBI clothing. One has an FBI lettered cap, another is wearing a jacket lettered (something like) FBI Counter Terrorism.

According to WTOP, officers on the case at this time number "in the thousands"
To: Hatteras; Stat-boy
Statboy said the same thing. It's very possible. Victims can be lined up at the pumps and all the killer has to do is wait for a white van to leave the area.
To: Major Jim
Yes, I think this nut is a single shot as well. What makes me think so too is that if the perp had a semi-auto, he'd more than likely fire off a few extra shots into his victims to "make a statement"..
Additionally, semi-autos aren't as accurate as bolt action rifles. That's why many REAL snipers, both military and police, utilize a bolt action rifle.
To: alisasny
I had to turn the channel...... can't and won't listen to the fake. FNC is trying to make us like him...... not going to work on my end. Now this "no talking" Ted Williams is back on..... good grief, channel change again.
