Upset with this freakin Sniper - Page 5

I know everyone in the Richmond area must be pretty nervous now that it's happened there. Keep safe and remember that until he's caught, you have to be careful no matter where you are!

Northern VA high school sports had been moved down to the Richmond area to play over the weekend because they thought the kids might be safer there. I think that may be a part of the reason the sniper went down there this time. Is it true that Richmond area schools are closed today? That's what I heard, and if it's true, I'm sorry but I think that's ridiculous! Kids are safer in locked down schools! I don't think any schools up here have closed because of the sniper... I don't know... Anyway, keep safe everyone!

There was a shooting in Silver Spring in Maryland... may or may not be linked

A lot of my school and several of my sisters are from Richmond... This is a very scary time!

This person or person is making me so mad & sad!!

CNN is now saying he/or she or whoever told Police that "your children are not safe anywhere at anytime"... I can't believe this guy.. someone totally needs to stop him

I'm scared to death just reading the newspaper articles and watching the news--I can't imagine how terrified the local people must be. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I hope this animal is caught soon.

Lots of people at my job were really late for work today because of the shooting this morning. Yeah it really sucks living around here right now, for many reasons. The other night I was out with some friends, and we left a bar and were walking back to my car when we heard a loud pop. Everyone is totally on edge these days, so of course everyone out on the street at that time ducked... Turns out it was some stupid guys setting off a firecracker, trying to see how many people they could freak out. Stuff like that is just NOT funny when people are actually worried about getting shot!

whoa! my hairs are standing on end! i cannot believe what i heard on CNN about the snipers "message" and "post script"
he has basically alluded to the fact that he can kill anyone one of any gender, racial or ethnic background at anytime or any place. he also sent out a warning in a post script that "your children are not safe anywhere, anytime" this is so distrubing and happening WAY to close to home!

My heart goes out to all of the victims and all of the people that continue to be terrorized especially ya'll that live near where the killings occured. I'm praying for ya'll!

Looks like this nasty sniper might be caught soon. In case you didn't know, police have a lead on an ex-military person from Washington state. I am praying that when I wake up, the sniper is caught and everyone will be safe to live their lives again.

On a side note, if this crazy person isn't caught by Halloween, the children of Maryland/DC/Virginia (in some areas) are forbidden to go trick or treating! I feel so bad for them because they have no clue what is really going on. But I don't blame the state officials-I wouldn't want my kids (if I had them) to go trick or treating!

Here's a better recap

Be safe everyone!

so what happened in Washington state? I thought the Washington state guy wasn't the Sniper, but could be linked to him? This is so confusing!

Someone in another state sniped a kid during the kid's football practice. They say it's not linked to the sniper. All I can say is what a damned sicko. When it comes to those pieces of $h1t there is no such thing as police brutality.

Last I heard, they arrested two men this morning while they were sleeping in their car at a rest stop. I also heard that the police uncovered a .223(?) rifle that is the same caliber of the weapon used in the shootings. I believe the two suspects once lived in the Tacoma home that the police searched yesterday.

Let's pray the police are on the right track with this one.

I hope that the man arrested by the police is in fact the sniper and that this issue can be resolved.

Alrighty, since I live in Maryland, all the channels are only showing the news, so I think I can answer a few questions. The guy that lived in Washington state is indeed the guy arrested last night at a rest stop in Maryland. The second guy arrested was his stepson, or something like that (he's like 17 or something). Police believe that both men are the sniper(s) in the recent shootings. The suspected snipers have links to New Jersey (where they got the car from) and Alabama (I don't understand this connection though). Anyway, it looks like my prayers were answered! Everyone please continue to be safe though!

Let's hope this case is solved soon!! I really hope so! I'm watching CNN here and it looks like there have been a lot of developments !!
