This'd be victim #13, #14 if you include the man shot on 9/14. The last two victims were a white woman and a white man. The woman died; the man is in critical condition. In both these cases, they were with this spouses. Someone else here is keeping track of the race, sex and age of the victims & I'm sure you can find it on one of the Beltway sniper threads. The pattern, as I can see it, is of randomness. They're shot because they're where he's set up his position, and he's the one who decides who lives and who dies.

This bus shot would be something new. He can't set up an aim in advance for a bus door shot since he does not know precisely where the bus will stop.

Catspaw, yes! There is no particular pattern, he seems to be taking a sort of "path of the least resistance"..just get off a good shot and run. He picks the next location with a planned entry and exist opportunity, and shoots the first perfect target.

The pattern is random.

The media should shut-up about school busses, they are giving this guy some ideas..geeze.
