I am very aware of that area also.

Mintues after this shooting happened I said to myself and my wife that the shooter was on the opposite side of route 50. The parking lots on that side are very dark at night and a perfect distance for no witnesses and a fast get away. I don't think the shooters went west on Rt 50. I think they took the exit road up to Wilson Blvd and took a right heading east on Wilson Blvd into Arlington.

They could pick up many back roads out of the area from that point and would never have to hit a major highway or road block. IMHO

That would be one route. Another is to go about 50-100 yards west on the access road, make a right into the apartment complex, and go another 200 yards to Wilson.

Or, take the little shopping mall alley directly adjacent to the parking lot (next to the liquor store), drive up to Wilston, make a quick left and then right to get onto Wilson Blvd. Or just head another mile to the entrance to I-66 (by the Metro station).

But that's the point, you're right, there are several egress routes from the school parking lot.
