Howlin,
Your description of Hanover County, Virginia (post #13) is very good.

The total area has about about 1 million population w/suburbs. About 45 minutes south of the last shooting.

Hanover is rural (north and west end) and suburban (south and east). It's a large county.
This area is similar in makeup to the outer DC suburbs (Prince William, Manassas and Spottslyvania).

In the past 2 weeks, because of the sniper and the proximity to the nearest shooting, Richmond has been under the same precautions as Northern Virginia, (cancelled school activities, etc.)

Most of us don't get gas anywhere near the interstate.

A 60 year old man was shot once. Not fatal.
Parking lot of Ponderosa Restaurant.

Press conference now....
Victim was walking to his car from the restaurant.
Shot in the stomach from an unknown distance and an unknown direction.

Being treated as a sniper attact (pending other info).

Oh, I should have credited that! It came from their county home page!

"Shot in the stomach from an unknown distance and an unknown direction."

I have only heard that he was shot in the back.
