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....

I guess you're right, it's just that maybe they should take it to a different thread.

[Kathleen]

They have a tag number?

[jackbill]

Maybe my theory is nuts, but nothing else seems to make sense.

Maybe you should consider two or more video game freaks who are having a competition.

What did the Tarot card say? I am God.

Do a Google search on "I am God"+"video games" and see how many hits you get.

[glock rocks]

great job, as always, thanks.

[tomkat]

100% agreement

What's the motive???

TERROR is the motive. There are some in the DC area who will no longer fill their gas tanks while holding the nozzle at the car. There are schools which have canceled outdoor activity for the children. There are some in the area who have stopped shopping.

Now the next question: is it Saddam (who has placed his military men in this country--see the OKC bombing) or is it AlQuaeda? Or does it make a difference?

Saddam has "plausible deniability" under any circumstances, unless we can absolutely positively trace the perp to Saddam's backyard.

Only problem with the terror angle is this (IMHO): if it were a terror operation, the shooters should have moved to Chicago, or Denver, or SanFran for this week's activity. That way we'd know we are not safe ANYPLACE in the country. Just like Israel.

I heard about it right before 10:00 p.m. ET. Maybe 9:55.

[Ligeia]

Yes, ABC Radio reported it at the top of the hour.

[EverOnward]

Talking to neighbor's son now -- just got home -- came from Arlington west -- I66 east being stopped and checked...

[HitmanLV]

Pres W has looked terrible of late, you are right. Some grave matters are weighing on his mind.

[A. Morgan]

Wonder if the guy thinks he can just drive home.... like nothing has happened at all.

[Mo1]

They have the tag #???

"Yes this is; I just heard Fuhrman (sp?) say he isn't sure this is the sniper because how high a rate of speed by which he left, not using the same MO." .

Mark is great; but was surprised when he said this. . .

. . .it may have just been a case of more traffic than he usually confronts; and knowing more police are on alert; may have felt it necessary to go a little faster. Maybe this killer is trying to up the ante so to speak; by making his attacks and his getting away, even more challenging; hence taking a victim in a more crowded area. .

Odd about the Michael's store; right next door. . .

[PoisedWoman]

houses a CRAFT STORE. The same craft store as in one of the other shootings.

What a strange factor. Has Martha Stewart gone berserk?

[A Citizen Reporter]

According to CNN the shooting must have happenned around 9:20. I can't stand to listen to Brown anymore, but Greta's not much better....ACK!

Brian Wilson on FNC pointed out in an earlier report that St. Michael is the patron saint of the police.(?) That that may be another message that is being sent by the shooter.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Yes, I've been there. Virginia is beautiful. Our son would have been fine.

His mom and dad, however, couldn't have taken it.

[Semper911]

9:30 ABC radio news added that LE was looking for an olive-skinned individual

You mean swarthy?

[Kathleen]

Thanks. I hope this leads somewhere. Finally.

[lizma]

Channel 9 just showed a similar pic. You could see her body!WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE. Sick!!!!!

[DoughtyOne]

I think part of your comment got truncated.
