I have wondered this for a while now, too.

Agreed, seems far fetched. But stranger things have been known to happen.

WEll, they ought to downplay it, because stray bullets are not uncommon in the uglier parts of town... this might have no sniper connection at all...

I saw some of the idiot profilers last week saying that the guy was most likely white because if he had a choice he was shooting minorities or people with dark hairI heard the same report, and maybe the sniper did too.
After all when the word went out that schools were safe, he hit a student.
Now word is he's not hitting white guys, and voila, a white guy is hit.

What's your reasoning for saying "someone would have to be off bubble to shoot in this area". Is that because most people around that area are gun owners??
To: terilyn
he could be on foot and in hiding Very good point... the last shooting had live shots of ATF with a bloodhound.
To: William McKinley
37 year old is definitely not the '60 yr old' previously reported. Goes to show that the Media needs to slow down and give us only the facts...not wild speculation.
To: ConservativeMan55
a 60 year old man, and a 37 year old man also? Or perhaps a 37 year old who looked like 60 after he was shot. Early reports are always totally screwy.

If *I* see a white van leaving the scene of a shooting, You can damn well better believe I am going to chase it, Honk, call 911 and harrass it, drawing as much attention as I can.

They are downplaying it being sniper-related--while simultaneously making a local shooting incident national news.
Until this past week, they were also playing down the possibility of the sniper being a terrorist....
I now wonder, without a willing media with 24/7 coverage of these shootings, regional paranoia, etc. if the shootings would continue. Media attention might be all that is needed and a greater reward for any kind of sick mind than even the "trophy" of nine dead innocent American citizens.

Just got home ourselves and turned tv on; don't know the answer to your question - sorry. New info: Witness reporting seeing a white van with ladder on top of it in the area at the time of shooting.
