Just as I was about to hit "post" I learned that police are in pursuit, they were traveling across the Falmouth Bridge in a chase just a few moments ago. The suspect is apparently heading north on U.S. Route 1, which parallels Interstate 95, just 55 miles south of Washington D.C.

I think we will find the perpetrator is a young guy who regularly plays airsoft games. Airsoft games are realistic military firearms and the games involve military scenarios. The owner of the gun has probably got his experience through years of practice. Here is a post from an airsoft site:

Airsoft Sniping Tips

A lot of airsoft players might be interested in sniping, but what all does that involve? Use this handy guide to get you on your way.

1. You must have the proper gun. Unless your gun has a velocity high enough to actually reverse time and arrive at the target before you even shot the gun, it is firing too slow.

2. Ghillie suits are vital. For a proper ghillie suit, assemble a suit of chickenwire, and cover with strips of newpaper from your basement. The older the newspaper, the more 'leet' the suit is.

3. Any good sniper has a spotter. Your spotter should have a normal gun, a keen eye, and frontal lobotomy, to make sure they always do exactly what you say.

4. Watch the movie 'Sniper.' Then watch it again.

5. For a backup weapon, you should have something light, mobile, and able to get you out of a jam. It shoud be easily carried on your person, such as a TOP M60 E3 Long.

6. Because no one will ever know you are a sniper, make sure your call-sign makes that fact known. We suggest names like "ImaSniper" or "OneShotOneKilla."

7. You should make sure your BBs are of the highest quality. Meticulously shape and sand down each BB by hand, to guarantee the precision sniping requires.

8. Once you have a ghillie suit, it is a good idea to add things to it from the local field at which you are playing so you blend in better. For a tactical edge, try using fake wildlife.

9. Sniping takes discipline. To practice, lay down in your backyard, aiming your gun at a target, and stay in that position for 120 straight hours. Remember, snipers dont have time to worry about hunger and fecal matter- stay focused.

10. A good sniper is always guaged by the length of the sunshade on their scope. Never forget this.

There was a story that was posted by a gentleman going by the name of HitmanMH that described two snipers, a deck of death tarot cards and the words "NNNNOOOOOO Don't Kill Me!"

I turned this over to the police and now it's gone. Took less than 10 hours! Hope it helped.

Police Fear Shooting Death Tied to Sniper

[Sangamon Kid]

The following portion of a thread was posted at 11:50pm last night on this website.

Patriotlad: I had conversations with two men who are veterans: one was an Army sniper. The other was in the Navy, who reached rank of captain, and was trained in marksmanship and the basics of sniper techniques. Both were of the opinion -- forcefully rendered -- that the Maryland shooter is some kind of a random, Sadistic nut. The Bowie shooting is thus, you say, a part of a different operation ??

Black-flower Woman: The Bowie shooting marked the beginning of Phase II, where the sniper plans to use a wider diameter around the Washington area, and do the shootings further apart, in a SPIRAL (a significant symbol to the Illuminati) to keep law enforcement totally confused. The Manassas shooting confirms this. On this current course, I would expect the next shooting to be in Frederick County, Maryland, possibly near Ft. Detrick. [Black-flower Woman also said, explicitly, that she hopes there is no second phase operation of any duration -- Patriotlad]

Black-flower Woman: After Frederick, will come something in the Baltimore area, near Johns Hopkins, or maybe near Aberdeen Proving Ground, and then something in Southern Maryland, perhaps near Patuxent Naval Research Station. This will probably play out over the course of the next week or so, and then we'll see another shooting in or around Fredericksburg, and we'll know that this operation has ended. There are many variations on the theme, but I would expect the "spiral" theory to play out in one way or another.

Black-flower Woman: Unless of course they catch the person in the meantime. That would be great of course, but it sure doesn't sound like they have the kind of profile that will enable them to do it based on profiling. If they do catch him ... or her, it will be pure dumb luck.

Rainy Day nuisance post.

I had this idea that the assasin was using a 'pentagram' pattern. Theorized that he was an anarchist/satanist/socialist type. I noticed that the shooting locations corresponded with the numbers in the order that a pentagram is supposed to be drawn to invoke certain elements. But with this latest in Fredericksburg it looks like all the evildoer is interested in is killing around major highways. I was wrong but it gave me something to do to look for a pattern. When I drew this the last shooting was in Manassas. Was thinking perp might head to the Michael's in California, MD.

(I haven't been following this thread, but if this hasn't been brought up it might be useful)

A few years ago, there was a shooter along Route 3 in Plymouth, MA. I don't think he was ever caught. He hit quite a few moving cars, but who knows what percentage? After a few shots nearby, there have been no more reports of these activities around here.

Connected?

"An Open Letter to the Maja Rushie...EnviroWhackos Responsible For Anthrax Terror!!"
Posted on 10/17/2001 1:43 PM Eastern by Mudboy Slim

"IMHO, the Anthrax mailings are far more likely to be the handiwork of the anti-American Leftists who make up the Enviro-Whacko Community, including the Effete Elite who comprise the Tenured Class within our American Universities!!!....Yes, my Wise FRiend, I said the Leftists in the Environmental Movement have got to be the Number One Suspects in the ongoing Domestic Terrorism Movement...please allow me explain!! You have always said that Lib'rals are the most hilarious when they are outta Power because they go absolutely crazy and yet can do no damage to this Country. Well, THE LEFT IS MOST DEFINITELY OUT OF POWER and it's driving them to measures that would have been unthinkable just six weeks ago. How do you think the Left feels when they read about Dubyuh's 89%+ Approval Ratings?! Well, on the DemocRATic Underground website, they are going absolutely NUTS!! Dick Cheney is well-advised to be making himself scarce with these deranged LeftistLoonies on the loose...THEY HATE US WITH A PASSION that they could never muster for Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein!!!"

Watch for this BeltwaySniper guy to be killed authorities in the next few days, but a suicide note will reveal him to be a DemonRAT Sympathizer!!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Having the sniper get shot by somebody with a concealed carry permit would rule!

[poppyseed]

This may be old news by now, but about ten minutes ago, Fox 5 news reported that the bullet fragments from the shooting this morning came from the same gun as the others. I find it interesting that they phrased it that way, that it came from the same gun, and not just that it's the same type of information.

Also, it was confirmed that this morning's shooting was a single shot to the head.

Apologies if this is a thousand other places - I've just culled through about 300 posts in this thread alone and didn't see the info here. Now I'm gonna check the Breaking News section and see how far behind I am on this "breaking news" I've just given ya.
