#4  I would put nothing past the Russians or any communist for that matter. It took them years to get COL Nick Rowe, but they did. The operative werd here however is "wounded."

#2  From Fox News:

The shooting appeared to be a random robbery and street shooting, a law enforcement official with knowledge of the case told The Associated Press. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person did not have authority to comment on the case.
