So what's the final word on all of this? Did someone truly get shot? If so, did he make it? Did they catch the van in question? I'm at work, and cannot for the life of me keep up with this fast moving thread. I need info on everything we know now about the shooting this morning. Thank you all in advance for helping out a poor cubicle slave....

Amid Sniper Search, Another Man Shot Dead in Va.
October 11, 2002 11:23 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Police said a man was shot at a gasoline station near Fredericksburg, Virginia, on Friday, and media reports said he later died of his wounds in a local hospital.
The shooting touched off a renewed hunt for a white van, as investigators searched for a sniper who has killed seven people and wounded two others in a week-long murder spree.
However, police said they could not confirm a connection between Friday's shooting and the series of sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C., area. Two of the sniper's victims were killed at area gasoline stations.
The Friday shooting occurred near a state-police barracks just off a busy highway in Spotsylvania County, Virginia.
"We're on the lookout for a white Chevrolet Astro van last seen going northbound on Route 1," said Virginia State Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell.
Exits along highway I-95, the major interstate on the U.S. East Coast, were closed in the Virginia area.

Sounds like a man was shot and killed at Four Mile Corner Exxon.

From live video feed on traffic cam's over the internet, it appears that police are now stopping northbound traffic on I-95 (not sure about the number, think it's 95). Southbound traffic not now being stopped, but they are rubbernecking so traffic in DC area is probably gonna be a bit slow.
