I also reload and I have some 30-06 accelerators with .223 bullets. Over 4000 FPS.
I think it is definitely a bolt action, maybe a 22 swift or 22-250.
I hope some civilian nails him.

east on 50....that would take him to downtown Arlington, right? He'll hit Fort Meyer if he stays on 50 - wouldn't that be a great ending ...

Home Depot had a bad rep w/environmentalists Not that I wear a tin foil hat much .. but I thought of those jerks when the shootings happened at the gas stations
And if they are driving around in mom or dad's car ..that might explain why they haven't ditched the car

Since you have been there, besides the higher area of the lot, is there a green area with trees or some other area across from the store entrance?

9:30 ABC radio news added that LE was looking for an olive-skinned individual wearing a blue denim jacket and in a white or cream colored van.

Thanks for your response xeno. It's too bad the authorities can't shut down all traffic completely and then go car by car looking for the murder or murders.

So, who owns Home Depot that the sniper could have a grudge against or is it the economy again?There is a Michaels in the same shopping center. That is the more likely link.

He is getting tired of this game and wants to get caught.
The next thrill is all the media attention he will receive.
To: md2576
Better but still tough in this area. I live in Lorton and have been working lots of overtime lately (I'm in the office now in fact) so I see the area roads at all hours. The area is choked with traffic day and night. The cops don't have a chance unless they have info to narrow the search down to something doable.
To: MVV
Must be more than one creep involved here.
How could he make such a fast get-away if he was alone?
Prays for this poor woman.

Uh, whenever you have 3 points, and then connect them, you will have a triangle. Take any 12 points at random, divide them into groups of 3, and you will ALWAYS have 4 triangles. Or are you saying something else?
To: Cboldt
I bet she's black. What a jerk this guy is. Had to use soft language but don't want to.

I>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.
I am going to be sick! I feel so horrible!!! The poor lady!

Anything smaller is ill-advised for self-defense, imo.Depends on the range and time of year. Test out some .380 Hydrashock at close quarter ranges for summer use. It may surprise you. I agree 9mm is better though. I prefer 147 gr fp or hp. Slow but heavy penetration any time of year. 147's give a really good combination of expansion and weight retention. The ones I've tested tend to expand more slowly than lighter slugs, which is a winter advantage.

He could easily duck into Four Mile Run park or even to Fort Myer if he has a sticker.
To: xeno
Fox is saying that they are looking for the Astro van traveling at high speed on Rt50 after the shooting..
