CNN Headline News is reporting that a woman has been shot near a Home Depot in Falls Church, VA, and that authorities are investigating whether this is another sniper attack.

Breaking now....

Valleygirl got it right. Here's the verse directly. I'm not enough of a scholar to say if Babylon was a subsection of Persia at the time, or if they were disparate entities.

Tom..... My squad is already "combat ready". When the alert siren sounds, look out. I'm sure the government is well aware of what could take place in the week or so if they don't find the A$$.

Lots of people stuck in cars who will have to use the bathroom and won't be able to.

That's what Travel Mugs are for...

where you can run out and buy plumbing supplies in the middle of the night!   "Only in America!!"  ©¿©

That's the first I've heard of that. How would the people in Virginia use their phones to report the cream colored van's location if they shutdown the cellular network?

I wonder if it wouldn't be impossible to set the cell nodes to only accept calls to 911?

Of course, it would scare the heck out of families trying to contact members at large in the shooting area, but, it would also help to prevent communication between hypothetical terrorist groups on their sniper mission.

As much as I hate to admit it, MSNBC has had the best news coverage tonight. Fox's budget goes to political talking heads, but MSNBC is very good on breaking news. I hope that changes soon.

Hey, it gives me the creeps and I'm not even a man!! All the fu-fu ladies, as I call them, like to go there.

I'm not a "fu-fu lady", LOL, but I do like Michael's. I'm not overly "crafty", but if you have kids, it's an awesome place to get all the doodads and art supplies for them. They also sell some really cool hobby supplies that even "macho" crafters might like...I think someone mentioned rockets?

Personally, I think Michael's has nothing to do with it. It's a pretty common store - could just as easily be Home Depot (like tonight), Wal-Mart (which also has had its share of controversy), etc. If Michael's does figure into it, I'd say the sniper is targeting the average American and his/her lifestyle - gas stations, craft stores, home improvement stores, schools. Things "nice people" do.

Shoulda been "Alexandria being part of ARLINGTON County." Again with the staying up too late because I'm electrified by this case. At any rate, thanks to both of you for the correction.

"That's what Travel Mugs are for... "

That only works well for about half of the population.

"ROTFL, my kids keep asking me if I'm OK!"

Are you rocking back and forth in your chair? :)

[Jeff Head]

Yep. Not good in any case. I hope these perps are caught soon and made an abject example of.

[GirlShortstop]

Who IS that guy?   boy did he PI$$ ME OFF!!!

[Chad Fairbanks]

NOt based on what I've seen during the morning commutes... ;0)

[floriduh voter]

Was that flick about guns or knives? It's a creepy logo.

[snickeroon]

This is SO AQ typical, the only surprise here is that they have not targeted the country's most OBVIOUS parking lot.... and just in case it's the next place, I'm not going to mention it here, but (gee, Wally ....) be on the lookout.

I MEAN it, I'm truly experiencing that same wave of nausea/realization that accompanied the morning of 9/11.

[WarSlut]

Are you beginning to get that "Oh no, the second plane has hit the building we are under attack" gut feeling slowly spreading down your thoughts? Anyone?

I've had it all night. All week, really... but tonight was really bad.

There's no doubt in my mind about what this is.

The twist rates are reversed too. We started with the slow twists and now they're faster. I have a 1:8 with 69 grain MatchKings.

Hmm, and Sept 14 when the first (possible) shooting was, is the feast of the Triumph of the Cross.

[vikingchick]

ME TOO! Hey, jerk, don't be LAUGHING your fool butt off at a crime scene, unless you want to attract negative attention.
