"I bet she's (victim) black. What a jerk this guy is. Had to use soft language but don't want to."Why would you bet that?

Hey, didn't you hear the security expert say NOT to give out the locations of the roadblocks!

That is possible, but I think we're looking at a domestic whack job. Maybe not. Whatever it is, I sure hope they don't up those pathetic "diversity is nervana" spots to a higher plane. They're driving me nuts already!

Actually the 9mm Browning is a round chambered for the Swedish Browning auto. It was a little longer than a .380 and shorter than the 9mm parabellum.
I have heard the .380 referred to as the Browning short although it is usually called .380 ACP which is short for Automatic Colt Pistol.

He changes his MO based on what is said about him by the police, news media, and talking heads. This person is sick.

shooting happened in an underground garage. THat Home Depot has a parking lot on ground level with a deck above that. I would assume they mean the ground level (you can walk out from under the deck and be at ground level. That's the store entrance/exit level too) portion of the parking lot.

"Security expert" at WMAL (I didn't know they had such a thing) cautioned against reporting location of roadblocks, so he agrees with you. But traffic reporter then said there were blockages on all the main roads in Montgomery County.

Dr. Maurice Godwin did a good geographic profile of this creep. Here's the map he developed:

Godwin predicted Manassas; said the creep would continue southward, then eastward, then back up to where he started.
Watch out, folks, in the Annapolis area.

I hope he didn't have time to disable them. The witnesses said they heard one shot only so he couldn't have shot them down. But he may have parked in a spot where the security camera could reach if he knows the parking lot.

He's changed his MO several times to accomodate what is being reported. And his MO has been discussed quite a bit in the media - and though I'm not one to go ranting about the media, I must say at this point that they need to just shut up.
So Moose says that the schools are safe, and the guy changes his MO (shooting adults) and shoots a kid. Then he's called the gas station sniper, and he moves back to the strip malls but tacks on a more difficult shot, if I'm understanding the parking situation correctly. Besides, wasn't everyone calling the sniper on the ease of his shots heretofore?
I heard some head on earlier tonight who scoffed at the notion this guy is a real sniper - said he needed to be "demoted" to "just a shooter with some luck" - and I cringed. Things like that are taken as challenges by the sniper, I think, and as much as I hunger for information that will make me feel safer about living here, I think it's time to put a lockdown on the media.
Out of curiosity, what time did you hear about the shooting? There've been posts about this happening "so late," but on Wednesday night, there was a significant delay between the time the shooting occurred and the time it was reported. When did this one happen?

Hey, didn't you hear the security expert say NOT to give out the locations of the roadblocks! Think the perp might have a wireless internet connection and be logged onto FR? :-)

Maybe they need 3 more... 4... duh! Bedtime.

Problem is that the small, high-velocity .223 round tends to over-penetrate, going right through the body rather than releasing its energy into the body. That's why the similar 5.56mm NATO round in our M16s required several shots in Somalia to down a target. Bowden talks about this extensively in Black Hawk Down.

I know :^) Your post was just at the bottom of the list. Security expert telling everyone stuck in cars with engines off to keep hands on the wheel and don't make any funny-business jokes.

I heard the security expert say that AFTER I heard the caller and made my post.
