Good morning. I just posted the shooting in breaking news but I prefer being on this thread to discuss everything. Looks like the psycho wants ransom. Kinda give credence to the fact that this is NOT Middle Eastern terrorism or AQ. Looks like it is a greedy Psycho who wants Blood money.

That they were set up by the sniper. Along with the Cops

I agree .. this murder is not stupid and he is playing a #(&$&$ game

I also don't think this has anything to do with money.. there is something that is the motive behind these shootings .. but it ain't money

I'm sticking to my sleeper-cell theory. Even if they want $$$, it'd be a way to use OUR items of interest (Money, planes, freedoms, etc) against us: insult to injury.

Agreed, IF the ransom story is true. But then, why did they send the FBI to Gitmo? Or was that even true?

Agreed - think it's domestic source now. Some will argue it's a diversion, but just don't buy it.

Yesterday I posted some info. about the bike rider seen with the rifle protruding from his backpack in Fairfax shortly before the Home Depot shooting. Personally, I would like the police to do one of several actions here. First, sketch the rider and publicize that. Second, request that that person identify himself. If he doesnt come forward, then there is more of a chance the girls crossed paths with the killer.
BTW, Doosee is a he for the record!!!!!! The screen name doesnt help on that account. Today I am trying to find out if the police are following up on this incident.

CNN produer at the scene - victim shot getting on or off bus - it's not clear. Helicopters above. Looks like traffic is moving again. Incident close to a wooded area - small park - 1/4 mile from Michael's store where the whole shooting spree began.

Shooting in Aspen Hill Reported
Updated: Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2002 - 6:26 AM


WHEATON(AP) -- A Montgomery County police 911 dispatcher has confirmed that a reported shooting is being investigated at Bell Pre Road and Connecticut Avenue.
This is in the Aspen Hill area of the county.

There is a huge police presence in the area and traffic is affected.

Traffic is completely stopped at Connecticut Avenue in both directions around the scene.

There is no word if the reported shooting has any connection to the sniper shootings in the Washington region.

"The New York Post reports the shooter's 3 page letter left at the Ponderosa demands money in exchange for stopping the shootings. The shooting of schoolchildren is mentioned."

Well...there's the justification fer keeping the Chesterfield school's closed...MUD
