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....

Who knows. Maybe somebody saw one hanging around in the parking lot, and doesn't remember, or...they're grasping at straws again, obviously.

some people might not be able to hear it over their LOUD MUSIC

LOL, thanks for that one.

So this man/woman was/is a delivery person for Michaels. Knows where all of the stores are.

Wasn't it reported that the plane was heading for the capitol (not the white house)?

Great post. I just wish the authorities would make their statement and end it - stop asking if there are any questions, that they won't answer anyway.

Channel 9 out here is interviewing witnesses.
Most appear to be MEs! One said the van was in the garage. Somebody got spooked?

[Boiler Plate]

I am suprised at this site choice for an attack. From what I remeber of Seven Cormers it always seemed like a bit of pain to get in out of. How easy is it to get to 66 from there?

Unless this first "cell" is setting the pattern and putting together the play book for the rest to be activated later.

Cannot rule it out on this basis at this point IMHO.

Let's hope they ARE in pursuit. If they messed up that one, then they'll never catch the perps... Being pessimistic right now. Was imagining wild speed chase ending with the #$&*% trapped and gunned down.

This must be the ambulance chasers thread.

Home Depot on your map is UP Rt 7 to the first right hand street which goes through to ARlington Blvd and left just before the Blvd on a small road that parallels it.
I think (?) the name of that unamed street on your map is Patrick Henry Dr.

It is what I would call "spitting distance".

For anyone who listens to ART BELL aka as George, they are talking about the sniper, Virginia, etc. I'm listening to Greta Van Susteren and Art Bell on Clear Channel. Ambi-dextrous hearing. Caller says he thinkgs UBL is involved in this. Similar to what happens in Israel.

Easiest way to create terror in this country - this is a major story. We've got to get everybody aware. said by George.

If they're looking for a WHITE or CREAM COLORED VAN then why are they stopping green, red, orange, blue, cars and trucks?

They've been stopping white vehicles for a few weeks now without any luck. Seach them all, green, red, etc. Find this shooter.

[Robert_Paulson2]

very interesting....

and the arrest NOT announced.. telling us that our government thinks this IS a terror cell... and muslims ARE involved. They don't want us to go vigilante on them at large....

if this is true.

[for-q-clinton]

Ya know... some of us olive-skinned gentlemen DO wear deodorant... jerk...

Dont' take it personal. I said usually...I didn't say ALWAYS.

[berkeleybeej]

Again, I don't mean to repeat, but how can they have a description of a vehicle, if they don't even have a direction of travel.......??

They still have to verify the direction. Sure, witnesses told them what they saw, but it isn't official yet.

It seems like he's just looking for variety. He shoots a few males....decides to up the females....goes back to males....looks for a black guy since it's been a while....etc
