MSNBC | Friday, August 15th

[The KG9 Kid]

MSNBC reporting breaking news -- 'Sniper-style' shooting in W. VA area.

[The KG9 Kid]

No further word until they come back from commerical break.

[The KG9 Kid]

Two dead at two different gas stations.

One at 'Go-Mart' in Cedar Grove.

Two found dead in car earlier, and one shot talking on a pay phone at the same 'Go-Mart' earlier in the week.

[sf4dubya]

4 of them. 1 guy on payphone, 1 pumping gas, 2 others pumping gas?

[blondee123]

I saw that too & could not find an article on their website to post here. Don't tell me they have another wacko sniper thing going on! Those last ones were sure to give someone (terrorists) the idea! This world gets crazier all the time!

[The KG9 Kid]

I heard two dead found in a car earlier in the day, and one shot earlier in the week.

Tonight at 11:15pm EST, one shot at a gas station and then another in Cedar Grove.

[blondee123]

PING!

[The KG9 Kid]

They're calling it 'Breaking News' on MSNBC.

Yes, I guess they have another 'wacko sniper' going on.

DUCK!

Isn't it odd for this time of morning?

[blondee123]

Thanks, at least they aren't looking for the White Van!
Calling Chief Moose!

[blondee123]

Gee, from your tag line, you must also be from Illinois!!

[countrydummy]

Can you provide a live link, I am in WV!

[EternalVigilance]

Shiite.

There are a zillion sniper positions in the state of WV. I was working there the whole time the No. VA shootings were happening, and believe me, I thought about it.

Time to turn a whole bunch of rednecks with shotguns and rifles loose in the hills, if this is another Muhammed.

[xzins]

I live down the road from West Virginia.

They shoot back.

[EternalVigilance]

They will, yes.

[countrydummy]

Like I said, I am in WV! My home! I do shoot back! But I will be finding the full body armor!

[EternalVigilance]

Hey, I haven't been on a posse in quite awhile...LOL

If you need help, I'm only a couple hours away!

But I live in DC, so you'll have to arm me! :-(

[countrydummy]

lol...no problem!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lion Den Dan]

, and one shot earlier in the week.

Where is earlier in the week? Is that like in the leg or something?

[South40]

Sniper style shooting in W. Virginia area?

Two questions:

Were the victims black?

Can Robert "KKK" Byrd's whereabouts be accounted for at the time?

2 gunned down

• Woman, man shot dead outside Campbells Creek, Cedar Grove gas stations

By Paul Wilson Staff Writer
Two people were killed late Thursday in separate shootings outside Kanawha County convenience stores, in what police said could be related random shootings. The two became the second and third people shot dead outside Kanawha Valley convenience stores within four days, and the third and fourth people murdered in Kanawha County on a bloody Thursday. Thursday night, a woman was gunned down while pumping gas at a Campbells Creek convenience store about 10:20 p.m., while another person was shot slightly more than an hour later outside a Cedar Grove store. Both were killed. - advertisement- “They appear to be random shootings,” said Lt. J.S. Bailes, Kanawha County sheriff’s spokesman. Initial reports were that the Campbells Creek victim had been shot in the head, but that could not be confirmed. Witnesses also said the Cedar Grove victim was shot in the head, though authorities did not confirm that, either. Sunday night, a South Charleston resident also was shot in the head and killed outside a convenience store. George Carrier Jr. 34, was killed while using a pay telephone outside a Charleston Go-Mart. Late Thursday, police across the Valley were alerted to increase patrols around stores with gas pumps. Police were alerted to look for a black pickup truck with gold trim seen leaving the Cedar Grove store and a dark-green or blue Chevrolet Corsica from the Campbells Creek shooting. Witnesses heard a gunshot but saw no one at the Campbells Creek shooting, county dispatchers said. That incident left a woman lying dead next to her red Pontiac Firebird. She had been pumping gasoline at the Speedway SuperAmerica store, 524 Campbells Creek Drive, when she was shot. The name of the victim — whose body was covered with a sheet on the store’s parking lot late Thursday — was not immediately released. The second shooting occurred about 10 miles away around 11:30 p.m. at the Go-Mart in Cedar Grove on U.S. 60. Bailes had few details, but said a person outside the store was shot. That person died and the body was lying covered with a sheet early today, while a maroon pickup truck was parked nearby in the lot. Campbells Creek resident Rick Clay said his 16-year-old son, Cody Ryan Clay, had tried to resuscitate the Speedway victim. Cody Ryan Clay and his grandmother, Sandy Clay, had heard one shot and ran to the store from their adjacent residence, his father said. Rand resident Arietta King said she saw a blue Chevrolet Corsica go speeding past her on Campbells Creek Drive, about a half-mile from the store. She then came upon the woman’s body, lying on the ground next to her car. Kanawha County sheriff’s deputies were questioning store employees and customers late Thursday and would not release any information. That’s what brought Georges Creek resident Tina Adkins to the Campbells Creek homicide scene. Her sister, Wendy Tuell of Rand, had been leaving the store when she heard what she had described to her husband in a short phone conversation as a firecracker. She did not believe her sister had witnessed the shooting. She spotted her on the parking lot in a red shirt. “Thank God she’s alright,” Adkins said. The two victims’ deaths became the fifteenth murders in Kanawha County this year. Charleston has had 10 of those homicides, including a man and woman found shot to death early Thursday in a car parked on the city’s West Side. Staff writer Tom Searls contributed to this report.

Thanks, at least they aren't looking for the White Van!

This is West Virginia, look between the primer spots and under the duct tape, it's possible there is a spot or two of white paint left.

[Glenn]

Have a brother and most of my living relatives in Charleston. Here's hoping they get this nutcase in a hurry.

[countrydummy]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEh you! lol don't go there dude!
I might have to shoot you!

[putupon]

don't go there dude!

Just funnin'. I'm from VA, WVa jokes are kind of a reflex action.

The wifey went to Med School in WVa, it's really nice up there as are all the folks.

I do have some true stories about some of the patients who have shown up in the Bobby Byrd Clinic she worked in that make the jokes boring though.

Then again, I have stories about our ghetto riff raff that shows up in the ER down here that can at least equal, if not top them.

[visualops]

3 people dead in WV and not a peep from any major news outlet. I guess it just ain't news if its only West Virginians getting killed.
Of course, CNN.com thinks that Roseanne Barr's surgery is a "top story".

[mountaineer]

Wow, my late father was from Cedar Grove (just down the holler from Buff Lick, as I recall). I doubt this is anything like the Malvo-Muhammed snipings of last fall, or at least I certainly hope it isn't.

Why aren't the news stations reporting on this at all?

I know this power outage is serious and all but sheesh, this is pretty scary.

Well BTTT anyway.

Meanwhile...some guy named Mohammed laughs, while handcuffed, many months later making a mockery of the American judicial system while lawyers that defend him laugh all the way to the bank...a sure sign that we will coddle those that would murder in such cowardous fashion.

But in the event that 38th justice would prevail, those same lawyers that would defend such brash cowards as the one who is STILL ON F##CKING TRIAL, will most certainly line up at the trough of prosecution...

The purveyors of 38 justice will then realize that they have shot at the wrong target...

"3 people dead in WV and not a peep from any major news outlet. I guess it just ain't news if its only West Virginians getting killed.

Probably because the Sheriff isn't a media glory hound like Moose is.

[Uncle Fud]

I'm on a freelance job in Charleston right now, and I can tell you that no one is panicking like those hothouse flowers in DC.

I also learned this morning that the two people whe were shot last night knew each other well and were part of a fairly rough crowd, so this may not be grist for the "sniper" fear mill after all.

[Beelzebubba]

That brings back fond memories!

[Dirk McQuickly]

Someone needs to bump this thread to the top of Breaking News. I just stumbled across it on Drudge and found this thread here. This merits serious (not "series") discussion.

[Travis McGee]

Hatfields and McCoys?

[mountaineer]

My guess (as a proud but realistic W.Va. resident): It's probably a dispute over drugs or a woman, and at least two of those involved have mullets.

[phasma proeliator]

Ping

[Uncle Fud]

Discussion of what?? The people who are in the area are all well aware of it. There's no point in speculation at this point. Let's calm down.

[Brian S]

This is not good...

[Travis McGee]

Mullets! And tattoos. And a trailer with a 12 foot satellite dish, with an El Camino out front on blocks.

Im surprised this story is buried, I just stumbled on to it..

Funny ... they said that the last time and look who they turned up? My bet will be another islam-boy who pissed off that he can't rape goats in this country like he did back home.
