.223 has far more energy and if using expanding bullet, will literally explode in its target. Even FMJs will undergo explosive fragmentation inside 100 yards or so. But I agree with the general sentiment: only an idiot would prefer to be shot by a .223 over a .45. .223 wounds make .45 wounds look like a walk in the park. Very nasty.

If your toilet seal gets broken at 3am you find the motivation, trust me.

I would have a very hard time going anywhere near a Micheal's out there right now. I know it might be silly to some, but...

Home Depot had a bad rep w/environmentalists... cutting down rain forest for their timber.

Even at this time of night there are a bit too many cars for that. Sounds good but harder to do than it might seem.

Now looking for an olive-skinned man. OK, now I'm back to my theory this guy works for a carpet shop in town (IMHO) ...

From the photo linked in post #47, there is no parking garage, or even a lower level lot.I believe the road near the bottom is Rt 7. The wide road in the middle is Rt. 50. Rt. 50 goes under Rt. 7 at Seven Corners.

If these images weren't from a news source, I would not post them. Just an example for you.

She stocked up over the weekend, quite fearful. She is totally spooked.

In that photo, approximately in the center, is the N.E. corner of the Home Depot parking garage. The garage roof and the store roof are very close to same height.
I grew up and still live a couple miles from that store.

Helicopters? I hope they have some up over Rte. 50. And just what are all of the helicopters going to do while hovering or flying over Route 50?
To: Jhensy
I cannot see how he will get away. This is traffic light h*ll.

Fox reporting police are looking for a shite Chevy Astrovan going East on Rte 50
To: Rodney King
Shot to the head. She was in a parking lot lower level. It the sniper) was waiting for her in the parking lot and probably took off in his vehicle from that lower level and made another quick getaway. He waited for a victim, took one shot and now we have nine dead.
The former marine may have been a decoy or maybe he has nothing to do with this after all. We never learned his background or his girlfriend's.

But there are only 2 roads that cross the Beltway without interchanging with it - Idlewood in Falls Church & Heming in Springfield. If he's inside the Beltway, he can't get out. I'm sure the bridges are already blocked. 50 runs to Memorial Bridge.

Yep.

The race of victim has not been reported. I'm just typing in what I hear, if it isn't already here.

If the Sniper is shooting there, either he is getting bolder and more fool-hardy or he is incredibly sophisticated. Let us hope he becomes bold enough to slip up. I am still stunned he would shoot in such crowded surroundings. It would fit for a nutjob, though. He has to get closer in, and closer to being caught, in order to get the same thrill. (It's a form of pornography for him, I suppose.)
