I'm in Falls Church and my wife just went out shopping, so this thread gave me a nasty jolt.

She isn't at Seven Corners, though.

It probably depends on the type of bullet. A hollow point would be quite deadly at the intermediate ranges the sniper is probably shooting from.

As for the weapon itself, I'll go against the law-enforcement grain and guess that it's a scoped bolt-action rifle.

Bloody Heck! My wife and I were at that store last weekend and I was thinking of going there today to pick up a faucet. Route 50 at the 7 corners area is a broad, massively busy street. I don't see how anyone could shoot from around there unseen.

Prayers go out to the family of the victim.

My prayers also go out to whomever obliterates this waste of skin. S/He won't be worth the price of a trial....

Wouldn't Home Depot be closed at this time (10 PM ET)?

Home Depots I've seen close at 9 PM with very few customers after 8:30.

Would the parking lot lights even be on?

A friend listening to local news said the shooting happened in an underground garage. If anyone's in the area, they can probably confirm or discount.

It's very dense suburbia, more like the locations of the original night and day of multiple shootings....not as near rural areas as the Fredericksburg and Prince William shootings.

Also, it's mathematically impossible for there NOT to be a white van seen in the area. Actually, probably a dozen or so white vans..ENORMOUS amounts of traffic and a bajillion roads.

White van? If so, this guy is either bold or stupid. I'm not even a sniper and if I lived in the area and owned a white van, I'd park it or paint it.

The Home Depot is in the Seven Corners area of Falls Church. As the name suggests, he has lots of exits, as usual. About 3 miles from me. Scary stuff.
