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 don't think it is a Michaels' craft store. They showed the signs and listed was a Joann's Craft and Fabric."

. . .well good for Michael's, perhaps.

WMAL has broadcast a tag number: VA tag JBU8730. Even if that's garbled, there must be a way to check what 1990 white or beige Dodge vans have a tag number like that.

CNN report- Youths of God.

Earlier reports described the victim as an "elderly female".

"victim was loading packages in her car with her husband."

Damn. That's sad!

The shootist could exit to a mosque in Falls Church's "Little Mecca".

Any with underground lots?

Bin Laden doesn't use the term "God". He says "Allah". If the interpreter said "God", it was an erroneous interpretation.

"Allah" IS Arabic for "God".
Anyone interpreting Arabic is completely proper to say "God" for "Arabic."

Which is one of the reasons "Allah is Great" rings so false in the Anthrax letters. If it truly was someone Arab writing in English it would either be Alluhu Akbar" or "God is Great" most likely, not mixed.

I wonder if this guy is using a silencer on his rifle? I mean, out in the suburbs and your using a high power rifle, you mean to tell me that people arent going to know where the shot is coming from. This guy or people is sick and the media loves it.

I just heard that idiot Van Grusten on FOX ask her guest, "What is the message this person is trying to send to America?" God shes so damn stupid.

TV 9 - interviewing a man who was inside home depot, checking out. He did not hear a shot. Says nobody knew what was going on. The victim's car was in the middle of the parking lot.

Good tip!

[livis_dad]

Not if there is more than one sniper... which there could be. I'd have to say the way this has gone, there is more than one person responsible for this.

Can you give me a link for WMAL online radio?

[cajungirl]

Just saw a shot of the helicopters. Could this kind of gun shoot anyone in those choppers?

The Seven corners area isn't the safest part of Fairfax county. I imagine anybody out shopping tonight would be alert to people around them. Seven corners literally has 7 stoplights that converge together. This is a very culturally mixed neighborhood. I haven't been to the Home Depot but I have been to the Michael's Craft store... it's rather small and very messy. I hope they have sealed all the exit roads... but I don't see how that's possible.

WMAL cautioning there has been no confirmation this is related to the other shootings.

If you are in a roadblock, turn on your interior light so police can see you.  LOL... I thought cell phone use in a car was bad!
trying to lighten up things if possible
