The timing of the shooting, at 6 AM, suggests that the shooter is becoming more media savvy. He clearly wanted to make sure that his act dominated the morning talks shows that come on at 7 AM.

Liberal media bias footnote: in describing the arrest of the two men in the white van yesterday, The Today Show stated only that they were totally unrelated to the sniper case. They failed to mention that the men were illegal Latin American aliens who would be deported.

You're right about the timing. It is perfect for publicity. Plus the area is directly between two other shootings (per WTOP radio).
