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....

If you're a contractor who starts working at 5-6 am you might be purchasing supplies for a job.

Home Depot this time

That's it. They've now hit my home away from home. This is WAY too much.

I'm glad I'm heading away from D.C. for the week...

Someone make this a Link to WTOP ... http://www.wtopnews.com/

Furhman, on Fox, observing no witness report of flash of muzzle (on any of these incidents), therefore shot probably from a
distance. Also speculates that vehicle association (white van) is not necessarily reliable.

I bet she's black.

There are many Asians in the Seven Corners area.

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

Not true, HD is very PC. They dropped a lot of stuff that wasn't "green".

Perhaps Arabic descent?

Not a garage. Some local Home Depots have a concrete roof over some of the parking lot. It looks like you could park on top but I don't think you can.

Okay, let's say it is a terrorist - what's the motive?

20/20 was also spinning the lone-nut theory hard, without any particular proof and even after they themselves said it was probably two people. I think the terrorist hypothesis remains to be disproven. 161 posted on 10/14/02 7:27 PM Pacific by pttttt

WMAL reported it. I think it was on the ABC Network News broadcast on the hour/half hour.

[Double Tap]

Agreed. FMJ's are far more deadly than folks think. Especially out of high velocity rifles.

[Freedom2specul8]

How much credibility do we give to the white vehicle reports?

wound ballistics

Any time you put 3 points on a map, you have a triangle. I don't see anything significant.

Wait, there is the "dot, perpendicular dot, offcenter dot, heyperventilated dot pattern (assuming you leave out number 4, which doesn't really count for a variety of symbolic reasons). Yup, this most definitely looks like a revenrse hypotonused parallelogram to me.

[hosepipe]

Is that close to Falwells Church area?

[L_Von_Mises]

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.

You are correct. I looked at the picture quickly and somehow that that the divided highway behind the mall was 66. 66 would be far above the frame of the pic.

Justlooked to me like there were some trees on one end of the shopping center as I looked at the photo posted earlier. I was wondering if they are actually on the Home Depot end of the center.

[md2576]

I doubt that will matter in this case but true.

[Elenya]

and now we have nine dead.

The Death card is #XIII (13). Maybe they need 3 more...

I wasn't talking about the 9mm Parabellum (which I agree is superior); I was talking about the 9mm Browning, which is just another name for the .380 ACP.

....and I agree with you, the Hydrashoks are not something to sneeze at in that caliber.
