The perp is clearly watching news coverage and seems to carefully plan the next move.

Personally I think he's feeding off the media. Ever notice how he doesn't kill on the weekends? Typically, people don't pay much attention to the news on the weekends so killing on the weekend would diminish his media coverage.

As for last night's shooting, it's pretty evident that he was gunning for primetime TV. I'd bet money that he was trying to get the Big 3 networks to interupt their primetime schedule to cover his vile handiwork.

One more thing....does anybody know if Maryland, Virginia or D.C. has the death penalty? If not, Foxnews is reporting that last nights victim was an FBI agent. I'd imagine that he could be tried in federal court for the murder of her. I'd sure like this creep to be taken alive and then gassed at a later date. I want him to live so those affected family members can look him in the eye and let him have it.

One does, one doesn't, and I can't remember about the third, but what do you want to bet the perps get tried in the state with the death penalty? ;-)

The Commonwealth of Virginia does indeed have and implement the death penalty. Next to Texas, I beleive we have executed the most criminls of any state in the union.

Virginia has a very active death penalty. Maryland's death penalty is now suspended by a moratorium, thanks to a political gesture by Gov. Glenspending and candidate KKT. And D.C. has no death penalty, thanks to the voters there.
