We may have a "copycat" here in Ohio too. Today I saw on the news where a couple of cars driving on I-71 got hit with bullets...........scary........

Texas*Princess-That may be the "news" I heard (RubberSouls) rather than OK. It seems like I'm ALWAYS walking in on the end of reports!!! I still don't know where the one was in the NE.

I hope they throw the book at the guy who gave the bogus information. What a WASTE of time, (CRITICAL TIME) money and manpower.:mad:

I was watching the tail end of 60 min (Or a show like that) and they said they NEVER caught the Zodiac killer-he just stopped. They figure he would be about 60 now and perhaps killed himself OR his "killer identity".

This seems like one of the most difficult situations for the police and the citizens...:(

The media should reduce the publicity of these crimes, most criminals of this type enjoy the attention. As I said earlier this also put more ideas in peoples' heads.

Thanks for the update JAM!

I'm glad no one's been shot since Monday, but I have to admit that the longer he goes without shooting anyone, the more nervous I get because I am expecting it to happen again. It would be nice if he just stopped, but if he did then the police may never find him, and personally I want to see justice served! And I cannot believe that anyone would intentionally give false information! :mad:

I wonder, since it has been four days, if he will turn up in another area of the country?

I was wondering the same thing.. also wondering if he will just stop? As terrible as this is, CNN, reported it would probably be harder to find the guy if he did just randomly decide to stop.

My mom often says "the wheels of God and justice are slow but sure". If we don't catch him, he'll get his in the end.

Be safe everyone. You're all in my prayers.

It appears he finally changed his pattern of not shooting on weekends. A 37 year old man was shot in Ashland, VA coming out of a Ponderosa. They think its him.

As one of the reporters said, all the attention, talk, and "patterns" just give him ideas and a challenge.

Where in OK? Just curious. Do you have a story link?

there was another one? :( didn't that last one happen on a friday night also?.. gosh they better catch this guy soon.. he's messing with so many lives here.. :(

I'll delete my post so I don't confuse anyone else.

It's funny, yesterday I spent my time preparing for guests today (Sun) and as I was getting ready to retire I told Hubby how GOOD it felt to NOT listen to the news, worry about "snipers" or Al Queda (sp?). A few moments later he walked in and said-"There's another shooting." :(

Ashland
 

last night there was another one and in my town.. a town of only 6,000.. this isnt the suburbs of DC now or anything.. this is cornfields and farms..

we are just a stop off of 95

its pretty scary when nothing like this ever happens in my small town... this is a town where everyone knows everyone knows everyone..

I called my brother last night bc I am away from home at school to check on him and see how he was.. he said that the whole town was on lock down and all the roads were blocked..

they arent sure if its linked yet.. but this is way too random for the area to not have some connection.. :(

angelic, you & your family are in my prayers! take care!!!

i think the media is talking too much about this.. talking about the police theories for his patterns... that just made him (or maybe his sniper buddies?!) do something on the weekend. they are giving this guy too much recognition and all their little theories for patterns just hurt the investigation and everything.

This is a really scary time we're living in :( We've got Al Quida running around planning who-knows-what, we've got Saddam the dictator over there planning who-knows-what, we've got north Korea?! (i can't remember if it was North Korea.. but the country name began with "North") building weapons of destruction, and this Sniper running around the East Coast and causing terror for everyone. :(

Ashland is less than 30 mins. from my house :(
