Don't know if you heard about this one yet but he struck again today. He shot a man at a gas station in Fredricksburg, Virginia. I just hope he doesn't head down here to lower Virginia.

I got this next quote from cnn.com

"Police are scouring Northern Virginia for a white Chevrolet Astro-type minivan with a ladder rack after a man was shot and killed at a gas station near Fredericksburg today. Ballistics evidence from the scene is being examined and Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose added the "shooting certainly looks similar.""

If this guy is just now figuring out that the "shooting certainly looks similar" then they need to get some better guys working on this.

They've updated the story, and have determined through ballistics evidence that the most recent shooting is related.

This post adresses concerns raised by SilverLotus and YogsVR4 and adds to comments made by Ci5ic,

There are several reasons Police investigating crimes like this that attract lots of media attention don't want small details pertinent to the case known. The primary one is to prevent copy-cat crimes (I know it's sick - but true). Some others are - they release a whole lot of general information about the crime and mention this and that - but leave out specific details, like the card and then nail the guy in questioning by laying the trap that the media knew about it. The final reason that I can remember (from reading about this kinda crap) is that it can either trigger more crimes later on / spurn the kiler on y demonstrating success or make people who have similar kind of material look like suspects to friends and/or family.

Oz.

I find it very hard to get this into my head that there is some stupid arsehole out there that gets a kick out of doing this.
It makes me sick that he has no worries about age/colour/sex....its just another person that he sees as a enemy and wants to shoot.
I cant begin to think what it must be like living in that town and the worry about even just walking down to your letter box.

If they get this bastard...what happens then?.....they will say he/she is just another poor kid that has had a rough up bringing etc etc and is just another nutter that slipped through the system.......lets just lock him away and the tax payer will look after him.

Well i say FUCK HIM.....Catch him, put him on display to the public so people can see the shit head in person then do the world a favour and kill him.....no questions asked.

My friends sister actually lives in D.C. and before all this crap happened she would take her kids out for walks in parks and such. Now, I don't think they even leave the house.
This guy is sick...

I saw on the news that there's hardly anyone out in that area. People used to go on walks, sit on their front porch, hardly anyone does now. Oh yeah, and there was another one this morning. I don't have the details though.

Yeah I know all about it but it's funny to see a Brit post it.

J Spec and I (known ones) are the nost likely to post about it since he is heading our way, but I have nothing ot fear. For one, i'm inside too much whoring j/p but I know what'll happen.

As for the politcal point-of-view. It sucks! Apparently yhe guy isn't using s super-snipe but a closer form of range snipe. I don't know, I don't think it's a terrorist act like some people are saying. I'm taking Criminal Psych now so I think it's more like something has happen to him and it caused a chain reaction.

It involves cars because when filling up with gas you are very vulnerable. A way to hopely avoid being picked off is picking a gas station that gives you a way to hide behind yourvehicle and other peoples vehicles. He is probably police or army trained.
