Is the time to play a football game enough time to scout out an area?

AP...Man was walking with a female companion...she saw nothing. NO EVIDENCE.
Saying on FOX...this may be a TERRORISM event, not random. Too well planned....(Howard Miler, Fmr. DC Homicide Dect.)

victim was a traveler. An Irish Traveler, a con man?

I would NOT like being stuck in an interstate road block where the perp may be the van behind me. Does anyone think LEO would just open fire on the perp if they spotted him?
How would LE access the perp without gun fire exchange and people all around?

For what it's worth, today's Islamic prayer times EDT:
6:08 am, 7:21 am, 12:53 pm, 3:57 pm, 6:24 pm (sunset), 7:37 pm (evening)
A 7 pm shooting would be just about halfway between those times.

The story is getting a lot of press in my area. My husband said the station owner where he buys gas said he's caught several people looking around constantly while they fill their tanks -- the more paranoid locals I suppose.Well, that's what they want (assuming that these are ME, which I certainly think).
Gosh, guy on Fox saying we could be on the threshhold of something that's not going to be very pleasant, this is very well-planned. I'm glad more people are saying what many here have thought for a while now.

Lynchburg is way southwest of Richmond... It's several hours drive.

the media challenged him to shoot someone on the weekend That's exactly what they've done.
IMHO, the greatest problem is that even if this is a lone nut and not terror cells, it will likely be adapted by terror cells at some point. Very successful at tying up LEO resources, so would be useful as a diversionary tactic.
While I still think this shooter(s) will be caught within the next week or so, I'd be shocked if terrorists don't adopt this technique in the future. Time to get used to it, we are at war, and we have been warned for over a year now that we will have casualties at home. Its just like W. Nile virus, in that we will all be at risk, but the odds are still incredibly low that any one person will be affected. Get mad, increasingly vigilant, but otherwise learn to live with it.

If this guy moves south he's gonna be makin a really big mistake. People around here don't play around. O.K. This is not just directed at you, but at everyone who has made some silly, chest-beating statement about why this guy better not move south if he knows whats good for him blah blah.
What the heck are you going to do about it??!!??!
To: Loyalist
Not worth much without analyzing these for all other shootings and times those days as well
To: Howlin
I see a Patrick Henry Blvd. there. Wasn't there a Patrick Henry Blvd. at the Seven Corners shooting area also?
I guess there are a million Patrick Henry Blvd. in Virginia.
