| Another shooting... |
| 2002-10-19 |
| FoxNews says there's been another, possibly related, shooting near Richmond tonight, of a 37-year-old man in a restaurant parking lot. The location is about 70 miles south of Washington, outside the range of the plane that was deployed to support chasing the shooter. Major roads are blocked, including I-95 and US 301, which runs parallel. The shot was reported to come from a woodline behind the restaurant. No definitive word on whether it's associated with the Beltway Killer, but the technique's the same. The victim is alive and was taken to a hospital in Richmond, where he's in surgery now. There was one shot, to the abdomen. The victim was conscious when he arrived at the hospital. The police statement says they have no description of the shooter, but Rita Cosby says there's an APB out for a leased white Chevy van with a Maryland tag, and that there's a license number associated with it. Washington Post has an article up already... I'm getting my info from FoxNews, which also has it on their website... Virginia police implemented a tactical plan they already had in place as soon as they got the 911 call. |

| #1 Thought that would happen. The killer listens to the media. The media says he never attacks on weekends. Sigh. If I were the police, I'd point out that he never attacks the same place twice, and then do some stakeouts... |
