Hanover County Shooting [Ashland, Virginia- North of Richmond]

[William McKinley]

Just reported. Took place outside of a Ponderosa Steakhouse. Not sure if it is related or not at this time. Police have shut down parts of I-95.

Thanks, Mo, I'd missed that. Should have known it though, hasn't there been a wooded area near every shooting so far ?

[relee]

The shooter was long gone before the 911 call was made.

I thought I heard the Ashland Police Chief say the plan ( to close the roads) was put into effect a few minutes after the shooting.

[rintense]

Oh yeah I was. 1984 was a wonderful year...

Did anyone get a look at the guy the LE pulled out of that Chevy van on MSNBC. A last flash of him looked ME. The LE were loaded for Buffalo. It was not a Astro van but a long wheelbase windowless full size van.

There was a report that Senators and Congressmen golfing on golf course could be possible targets

Yes, but short Senators are in no danger.

Motels: in the world of terrorist "tradecraft", Muslim owned and operated motels and hotels are considered prime "assets". Terrorists who know the correct salutations will get room and board and all without records, incuding lookouts, fresh prepaid cell phones, switch cars, garages to hide cars etc.

Motels will be seen to be a prime part of the muslim terrorist infrastructure, mark my words.

Along with taxi companies, delivery services etc.

[wardaddy]

Ain't that the truth.

[edwin hubble]

Yes, word for word.

BUT they have stopped hundreds of white vans.

Any one could have had a rifle (hunting season and all).

[Catspaw]

Motels and truck stops--and some combined. The shooter could blend into a truck stop easily as well.

[Howlin]

And we should be upset about that why? :-)

[rintense]

And so, rounding up innocent Muslims is ok? Even if they are American citizens?

[John,Staten Island]

I agree they should be looking at all area motels very closely.Check-in a day a so early,case the area,take the shot, return to your room,take off your turbin and channel surf.

[EternalVigilance]

If they start stopping and handcuffing every male with a rifle in VA, they're gonna run outta handcuffs right quick. ;-)

[GirlShortstop]

First intelligent thing that has echoed out    so perhaps you can STOP your rude postings?

[alancarp]

Yeah -- ESPN provides a welcomed break!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Yes, but short Senators are in no danger.

Actually, they are in MORE danger... because ya don't have to lead them as much ;0)

[Darlin']

Thanks, I hadn't heard that tonight.

[Ligeia]

Did you hear Congressman Eric Cantor on FOX? He reminded all potential killers we have the death penalty in Virginia.

Re Post 1164. Homeland Security gets a lot of pieceparts from other Departments. The structure is described at http://www.c-span.org/homelandsecurity

In particular, Homeland Security doesn't get FBI, CIA, NSA or NRO.

All duh shootin got him disgrumbled...

LOL. I have been sitting here wracking my brain trying to remember what the word was that I heard Williams say, not once but twice, that I found so funny. Disgrumbled! He actually said that.
