We figure this shooter is sliding back into his Holiday Inn Express or simliar close motel to watch the chaos.

of course that's a possibility, but motels/hotels leave paper trails and have nosey employees, even if one uses bogus id.
i gotta think that's a chance this guy(s) aren't prepared to take, unless it's a co-religionist running the joint.

from what i heard about the road closures last night, our boy would still have had ample time to get back to dc metro,
assuming he was in most anything besides a 'van'.

back later.
it's shower time.
really !

Me too. All this talk about being near an interstate, well, I hope they are checking and compiling data from all the nearby motels.

I'm thinking the same thing. Or maybe an RV park they're everywhere and would be out of the way most patrols. Some of them close their gates at 10 pm. or so. Just a thought.

That's what I thought they/he were doing too. Might payoff to check motels immediately. They may get room first and do hit, then scuttle back, and never be in traffic at all.
