The last I knew, none of the elites lived in West Virginia, just regular people. Therefore, there is no need to get excited.

The Media will henceforth pan this story unless they want to play it up as a "gun control" issue. If they do it will become headlines.

I'd really like to know the caliber and bullet type used...

Police are looking 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.

At least they are not looking for a white van!

Thats the way it should be.

In other words...gun control in West Virginia means using both hands?

Here is another thread--has earlier Fox News screen capture pics.

gun control in WV. is defined as hitting what you are aiming at

WV, is a good ole boy state,
This sniper won't last long.
Born in that part of the state, moved to N.VA. soon after, went to college in the S.WVA.
Not uncommon for most people to have guns in WV.

ooops..no pics on the aformentioned thread---sorry.

So its probably like Colorado? I vacationed in Colorado a couple month's back. The crime is so low there that they leave their doors and windows unlocked.

"Random shooting" seems random only to the victim and the witnesses and family.

From the perp's viewpoint these are meticulously planned events.

The news media tries to make crime seem like weather, something that happens, sometimes. The alternative is to focus attention on the criminal and the chain of deliberate decisions that have to be made to commit a crime.

But that would sound too much like "responsibility" and make it hard to blame "society" (you and me).

I pray that they catch the random people doing this.

The perp will be caught. If not by the police, by the locals.

I've had one since I was 12 and I'm a WV girl! Shot my expert at summer camp with it that same year. Don't mess with a WV gal.

That would be nice. Remember the "law school" shooting a few years ago? Two students got handguns and faced the guy down, ending the random event.

Time, Newsweek, and all the Gannett papers left that part out, but included the names of the hero students. Lots of detail of the gun the random shooter used, though!

Where in WVa.?

[bedolido]

I heard ont the 2pm (mst) news they're asking people to not stand outside around convenient stores and gas stations when possible. They think this may be another real sniper.

[vin-one]

right on don't mess with a WVa gal,
Just marry them....

[bedolido]

you've been here forever and haven't had a breaking news story? With all due respect to one of the original Freepers (from a newbie)... wow!!! that's gotta be a record.

[vin-one]
