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....

[lawyamike]

Actually, this Home Depot is right next to a Barnes & Nobles.

[John H K]

The other thing I wonder is if this guy might be using some sort of silencer. The cops should check public garbage cans for 2-liter coke bottles filled with cotten.

Loud shots have been heard at more than one of the killings; quite a few, actually, I believe.

[Catspaw]

Yup, there is. My friend said she had bought painting supplies from the Michaels close by the shooting. And she's VERY scared.

[Dog Gone]

White GMC van reported spotted in the area....

Naturally. We all knew that it would be.

[Hatteras]

Sounds like the shooter doesn't appreciate anyone cutting in on his dance card. Unless of course, the Baltimore guy has some associates that are looking to get this guy off the hook.

No interstate highway there. The beltway is a few miles away. Main roads with traffic lights. Not too much traffic this evening, though.

WMAL says they are looking for a red toyotapick-up truck with Texas plates ... (Bush hater?)

[SoCal Pubbie]

I work part time at Home Depot. Some stores in my area are open 24 hours a day.

[MissAmericanPie]

I had thought that maybe if the police had found the abandoned truck that he had ditched it and stopped his rampage.

[tomkat]

it's neither here nor there, but i graduated from FCHS (73)

so much for the folks who just *knew* the guy in b'more was the one.

fth, i'd have rather owed you the $1 ...

[aristeides]

Reporter on WMAL didn't know whether shooting at Home Depot occurred outside or inside store.

[sell_propaganda]

it's been a fews years, but I don't think there are any parking garages there

[Sgt_Schultze]

Rod, I've heard witness reports who claimed to hear a report. Maybe a flash supressor, but no silencer.

[templar]

... whoever catches him ought to spare the good citizens of Maryland and Virginia the expense of several trials.

And the iknnowelege of who he really is, and who might be helping him, and whether or not he is a part of some terrorist or other criminal organization. Much better to have a dead body than these answers. Just like with Oswald.

[hole_n_one]

Good work.

If thats not a pattern then what is?

Fox News: Police locking down entire seven corners area...first shooting in Fairfax County...

[relee]

Looking for white GMC? van?

They are looking for a van - not white though.

[cookcounty]

Now it's a GMC. I don't think there is a white van. Everybody's so focused on white vans, they can't see anything else. I believe this guy is firing ONLY when a white van is nearby, the better to perpetuate the misdirection.

[Mr. Mojo]

Oh, I hear you. Yeah, I would think so too. I used to have a chart handy of one-shot stop percentages with various cartidges. I'll go try to dig it up now.....
