He can change vehicles and clothing but he can't change the olive skin.

Couldn't he use makeup? For that matter, maybe the olive skin is part of a disguise, easily shed.

[Joe Hadenuf]

I agree, however, he doesn't seem to have any more info, but he did handle the tidal wave of press much better.

The sniper seems to be wrecking havoc.......

[HelgaHawk]

Agreed. You have stated your point very intelligently. To each his own. I guess there is some value to everything stated. My apologies.

[keats5]

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

So I guess that's the eyewitness. How sad.

[aristeides]

Maryland tag? What happened to that Virginia tag?

[RnMomof7]

Someone just realized there is a Michaels in that mall ..right up stairs..interesting coincidence

[Neenah]

Task force going through neighborhoods..searching everything. Flood lights on helecoptor's will light up dark areas.

Looks like they are really on top of it this time.

[for-q-clinton]

and, believe it or not, cnn's coverage of this is putting fox to shame ...

That's because fox has greta the communist on right now.

shooting:

possible hideaway:

[Indiana Jones]

By process of elimination; some art. lighting makes light skin look comparatively 'bright.'

[da_toolman]

Ditto that. If this happened near me I wouldn't leave my house.

I don't think I'd go that far, that's what they want. Be vigilant, not afraid, and have faith.

[Cboldt]

Molly Henneberg of FOX: "I just noticed, there's a Michael's craft store here."

That was sooo precious. What an honest outburst.

Since then, more open discussion of possibility of terrorism. I still admit having only speculation, and a sense of sorrow for the deaths.

[MissAmericanPie]

I don't think they will find him rushing down any freeways, the proximity to freeways could be a diversion. He could be fleeing a mere few blocks, less than five miles and changing vechicles. So far it seems these killings have taken place near a mosque, I think the F.B.I. should be checking the garages of every Cleric in the area they may be allowing the killer to hide his ride in their garages, or one of the "faithfuls".

[Hail Caesar]

What's the fastest way out of Fairfax County from Seven Corners?

East on Rt. 50 towards Arlington and DC (a few miles east of the crime scene).

[Dengar01]

Based on the comments by the reporters at the news conference, the local news crews seem to be listening to police scanners and have info not officially released...such as the description of the driver, that they were in pursuit...I imagine this is where the additional details are coming from.

Yes, the reporter got the olive skinned man info directly from the APB put out on the scanners.

[agrandis]

Yeah, that part of Michael's IS weird, and it does smell weird. But in the back they got clay, and all kinds of art tools, and Estes rocket equipment, and such. Brings back memories, typing about it.

[Joe Hadenuf]

How can they have witnesses if they don't have a direction of travel???

[Kip Lange]

I still maintain it's only a matter of time until this criminal (if he/she/they/it haven't already) does something incredibly stupid...or leaves a piece of hard evidence...

TV 9 – interviewing another witness. He was going into home depot at exactly 9:35 or something like that. He heard one shot, like a crack, like a pistol. He saw the victim laying down in the garage, close to the Rt. 50 side. He talked to another witness – who saw the white Chevy Astro van IN the Home Depot garage.
