Perfect. Somebody romanticizing about the sniper.
To: ellery
My biggest concern about the sniper is that it would inspire some loony copycat--now this. Maybe the 24/7 media attention to getting the DC sniper isn't the best approach.

Sloppy copycat. Bet he's captured by sunrise.

I hope this is not the beginning of rampant snipers all over the place, either al quaeda or "normal" psychos.

"Bystanders report hearing four shots from woods near McKinley Park"
Opinion: This is not the one-shot "Beltway Sniper." Doesn't make us feel any better though, does it now?

Sounds more like some kid was messing around in the woods, maybe target practicing and one of the kids got winged.

It was only a matter of time. Look at what happened with school shootings, or even fake anthrax attacks.

was shot in the hip Officials said the boy sustained an abrasion wound to his left hip
Huh?
What kind of gun causes an "abrasion" instead of a hole?
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the kid was not hurt (abrased?) too bad.
Something smells.

Likely a careless jerk popping off a few rounds without knowing what is beyond his target. Hope they catch 'em.

Copycat -- or the B team is in place and has been activated. I am not going to comment further until I hear more.

Brown said about 30 players and five coaches were on the field when they heard about four shots fired from a wooded area overlooking the football field. Geeez. I hope the shooter wasn't just trying to take out more than one kid today and that's why the four shots. Moving targets would be harder to hit, but what if he(?) was after volume? Just take a few quick shots and run. Nobody said the original shooter was really that good. He may just have a good scope.
I really hope this was maybe a hunting accident or something like that.

Must have been a "Pee-Wee Jihadee".

There was no target practice in the woods....At 7:30pm ET it's pitch black in the woods and the field was lit....I'm sure well lit were the boys were practicing.......
Distance, lighting and the speed the boy's were moving would make a shot difficult.
It's ominous on the tail of today's warning in DC....

"This is unreal. We finally got the kids back into the community. We were practicing for the playoffs. We were undefeated. And something like this happens," said Brown. What's unreal is that this coach expressed no sympathy at all for the kid that got shot!

The national media may not run this story, and we'll never know anymore about it. It will be a "non-event."
