CNN headline news is reporting a shooting of a woman at a Home Depot in Falls Church VA. No confirmation whether it's the sniper.

I think he's just a mousey white guy from 20 to 50 that you would never look at twice in Home Depot.

Fox News is reporting a possible sniper shooting at a Home Depot near Rt. 70 & Rt. 50 in Fairfax County Virginia.

Holy moly, Travis!

I hope and pray that this woman is not seriosuly injured.

Fox reporting police looking for white Cchevy AstroVan going east on Rte 50

At this point, I'm half of the mind that the police should not launch their helicopters, but launch A-10s to look for this van...

Grrrrrr...

Thanks for the ping. Praying that this person(s) will be caught tonight. Hoping God will go before all LEO's and make their path clear to catch this criminal. Staying tuned to FOX News.

The woman is dead, according to the local NBC station here in Columbus :( My daughter was due to go to DC on a field trip this coming Friday. 100 out of 170 parents put their foot down when the travel agency kept stalling and said "This is enough...if you don't have the good sense to cancel this trip, we'll decide for you." They're going to Gettysburg instead.

This is just plain eerie...once again, he is responding to the media. It's as though he couldn't stand the thought of someone else getting any notoriety, so he had to go out and prove that it isn't the Marine. The ballistic tests will prove it's him, but the damage to the rear of the van tells me it's our man.
