[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.

Fox: victim still alive, in surgery

[tubebender]

I told my wife the other night about all the ATF/FBI standing around the Home Depot looking ike a parking lot full of Mexican day laborers.

I'm no fan of expanded government but since we have the extra layer of bureaucracy in place, why aren't we using it?

There is no Homeland Security right now, aside from a desk and a chair. No money. No authority. Nada.

I agree with your comments about a zillion police cars sitting in one place though...

[kcvl]

Okay, you guys STOP them BEFORE they get to Arkansas!

[Cboldt]

Hope the press isn't running with rumors.

That gets my vote for straight line of the month.

The press is entertainment and purely ratings-driven. I am not complaining about it, but one is well served to remember that the press will deal in whatever keeps viewers, and viewers just LOVE rumors.

Just said he is in surgery...

[areafiftyone]

Victim is in surgery in the Medical College of Virginia. He is fighting for his life. Prayers going out to the poor man. :-(

[fatima]

Prayers-sorry for the bad spelling-happy for the prayers,we are all on our last nerve.

I think their cell is located in the Arlington area.

This was an away game for them and they are probably back home by now.

But, I agree that Richmond would not be a hospitable area for them.

I wish people would stop being so PC and just get rid of all the filthy Muslims that the US is housing!

Do you mean those filthy Muslims who are non-citizens, or those who are citizens as well?

[rintense]

HA! Rita just asked the race question!

[texasbluebell]

Texaco employee said he understands the shooting took place outside the Ponderosa.

Did you see the footage that ran a few minutes ago (I think it was Fox, could have been cnn though)? Right by a Michael's...is that old footage or from tonight, does anyone know? If so...

[floriduh voter]

And how do we know you're you? (just kidding - getting punchy tonight)

I'm not going to make it up to over 1000 like the thread for Ken Bridges, God rest his soul. I'll visit your web site tomorrow. Fregards, visit my site sometime. www.campaign-wear.com. I don't sell anything. FV

[snippy_about_it]

Parking lot, stomach.

[Ligeia]

FOX is reporting they've taken the victim to MCV.

[kcvl]

Prayers for him and his family. This makes me so sick!

[nicmarlo]

Someone said today, I forget who, that "watch, the sniper will shoot this weekend, just because his m.o. is NOT to."

[ladyinred]

Do you think the reason it has been quiet on the sniper front is that he/she/they were moving on to different area?

[rintense]

I'm listening to the TV while in my office so I didn't see the footage.

[Letitring]

Okay, CNN is now reporting man shot OUTSIDE the steak place, in relatively stable condition.
