Someone fill me in, I've been working like crazy and I haven't had a chance to do anything since last night but sneak this e-mail through this morning from my job. I everyone here is talking about a shooting at falls church, but does anyone know if it is in relation to the sniper. It's crazy how this has kind of began as a regional issue to a full blown national scare. A lot of people around the country, and here in Texas have this matter on their minds. Hope everyone stays safe who lives in these areas. My heart seriously goes out to y'all. I think people are so scared in other places because they realize the severity of the situation and hope to god something like that doesn't happen in their city. I really hope it never does to me or my family.

Mike

DeltaSig,
I checked out CNN.com for ya, and yes they are linking this terrible event to the sniper. They got a better description of a van, license tag numbers, and also a man in the vehicle. I watched CNN last night while it was "breaking" news. Here is the link to the story:

xo_sue, thanks for the support ! i think the entire nation is stunned by the events that have been happening.

My parents have called freaking out. My roomates are crying. I can't stand this..I wish that I could go live in another state for a while. And about the death card, soldiers used to leave the Death Tarot card or the ace of hearts as their "calling card"

Do you mean soldiers of the U.S. ?!

My prayers are with you and your family ChiO and with everyone else's who lives in the area.

I think that this tragedy is bringing everyone closer together. Like the police force in the area who are trying their best to keep everyone safe, and even the men and women who are volunteering to pump gas for people who are scared to get out of their vehicles. I really hope they get this person soon.

Yes, soldiers of the US left playing cards when they destroyed Vietnamese hamlets. It's right up there with collecting ears in my book. Go watch Apocalypse Now for more information.

In Tarot, the Death card means a transition, a major change. Rarely, if ever, does it signify the end of mortal life. I see it as a change not for the person whose life he took, but for those whose lives were linked with the victim's. Or he could just be trying to freak out the 99% of people who don't know that the Death card doesn't mean death. Or he doesn't understand that himself.

But I'm sure that the FBI Behavioural Sciences people are all over this one.

This morning, I thought I heard on the news that they were cancelling sporting events in the area because they are afraid they won't be able to protect the athletes and the fans. Did anyone else hear this?

Jadey28 · #38 10-15-2002, 04:49 PM

I don't know about professional sports events, but I do know that they have cancelled all school events inside, outside, and at night. Rec sports are cancelled also. Basically, the Maryland/DC/Virginia area is being placed on freeze until this maniac is caught. Everyone be safe.

ChiOqt · #39 10-16-2002, 03:16 PM

Most of the area school athletics are cancelled. A few of the concerts around campus have even been cancelled or postponed from what I hear. The day following the falls church incident I had to go up to the area with some of my sisters...the exact parking lot. It was horrible. They had men in fatigues, national security, FBI, state troopers, undercover police. You could see the spot where the woman was shot, and it was surrounded by candles and people praying. There were news crews everywhere. And as my sisters and I were leaving Serena from MTV News approached us to do a story or to find one!?!? The scene was horrible, a definate tear-jerker. People are so on edge here

RubberSoul · #40 10-16-2002, 03:23 PM

Ok, I really thought he would be caught by now. What do you all think........should I go? I really feel obligated to be at the burial for my uncle, my cousin (who is only 15 and is now feeling totally alone in the world) needs all the support he can get and I PROMISED him I would come. I have already made arrangements so that I do not have to take my kids, which makes me feel better. But I am still nervous. My dad, who is normally very rational about things, is very upset and is calling me like everyday to see if I am still planning to go. He wants me to reconsider and keeps saying things like "There could be copycats" or "You don't know what this means, this may be part of something bigger that is going to happen there...." etc. What should I do? (I should mention that my dad is about to leave for Beijing, China, which has ME a bit uncomfortable considering that Americans are being targeted all over the world. )

This is ridiculous! I hope that stupid psycho gets caught soon! I agree with the others in how there will probably be other copy cats pretty soon! I know that sounds bad, but there are some sick people out there.

My prayers go out to everyone that lives in the area that all this is going on in. What a horrible feeling..... being scared to leave your house in fear of being shot!!!!

The latest victim worked for the F.B.I. and was loading things into the back of her car with her husband. What a weird coincidence that the lady worked for the F.B.I., but i dont think that was his/her purpose.

Okay, maybe they were talking about schools and universities.

Rubbersoul, you have to do what you have to do. We can't be expected to stop our lives because some maniac (or maniacs) are out there. Just be extremely careful and alert.

justamom · #43 10-17-2002, 07:20 AM

I listen to the news everyday. Some very interesting theories out there. I don't know what's in the minds of people these days. I do think this could be something more ominous than the police are indicating. Mark Fuhrman has been giving a lot of interviews, and though you may not like the man, his thinking and reasoning is pretty thorough and logical. We are living in dangerous times. I don't see our lives ever being the same since 9-11 stripped us of our cloak of naivety. We have fallen victim to the very freedoms we fought for. Add the jurisdiction "turf" wars, lax government controls, non existent boarder control and all the SOCIAL domestic issues you have an open invitation to chaos. In a way, we are again paying the price for our freedom, but now, the "war" is being fought on our own soil and EVERY citizen has been called to duty.

To those of you who live in the area, may God bless and protect you and yours.

Sooner or later there will be copy-cats, who will try to out do him.

As we speak-Oklahoma and another place (caught the tail end, but it's NE). Though Oklahoma shootings from overpasses are nothing new, the timing is the concern.

There are shootings going on in Oklahoma?
