60 yr old man shot near Ponderosa restaurant. I-95 shut down.Per Fox. White truck seen in area

Why doesn't one of these "witnesses" chase after these goblins in the white truck?

Have Americans become that passive?

White truck seen in the area. Victim rushed to hospital - 60 year old man. At a Ponderosa Restaurant. per John Gibson. Well, there goes the weekend theory. They certainly have enough white trucks to go around.

Let's pray for this sixty year old man, probably a family man. Do muslims hate Ponderosa because they have any pork dishes? Just thinking outside the box.

Yes, sounds like they think it was them. I don't think a 60 year old man would be involved in any other shooting type of activity.

I believe that most of the shootings have occurred within a few miles of I-95. This seems to be the "getaway" route (or at least that is what they want us to think). Also, this is the same timeframe (9-9:30PM) of other shootings. This is the time of night that traffic lightens up but there are still many people (potential victims) out and about.

I've wondered that also

They aren't sure yet on this one. If true, the further South they move, the hairier it will get for the shooters to survive.

If they continue south to Selma, NC on 1-95, they will never make it past JRs.

Shooting "at" a Ponderosa?

Anyone know whether it was in the parking lot or inside?

Ping. The other freeper who does these threads, I can never remember their name, very long and w/initials. If you know it, maybe you can ping them.

I also thought earlier tonight that during the World Series game would be a good time to do another shooting. Many people may have let their guard down.

I doubt the police know any of the details when they make the decision to shut down the highway. Think about it. If they wait five minutes to think about whether it is related or not...the guy is most assuredly gone. A man being shot near an interstate exit is going to have to be presumed to be the sniper until shown otherwise.

I've stopped at this Ponderosa many times. It is a regular restaurant with an outside parking lot.

Well, there goes the tinfoil "9/11" theory (11 shootings, 9 deaths). This guy's going to need a .50 caliber enema through his forehead before he stops.
