I think it's pretty breaking.

Fox News Channel just reported on this about 10 minutes ago.

There have been 3 shootings at different gas stations late at night and all were shot in the head

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

Police said the deaths appeared to be random shootings.

Heck of a lot of 'random' these days, isn't there?

I do hope that 'random' is the correct assumption in these shootings however.

Dear God...prayers to the families, and prayers that Chief Moose does not have any jurisdiction...

I'm without cable - any further details or does the article above pretty much cover what we know now?

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.

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!

"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.

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.

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.

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

Is anyone else curious about the non-news status that this story seems to have? Is Fox is the only big news agency reporting this?

I can't be the only one to find this to be quite intriguing...

can I?

What's the race of the vitcims?

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

I hope the FRIGGIN media lays off reporting this a lot. The PSYCHO/s doing this want just that!!! ATTENTION!!

Shooter Sought in Three W.Va. Killings Single Shooter Could Be to Blame in Three Convenience Store Killings in W.Va.

Morris said police believe a rifle was used in each shooting because the shot that killed Meadows was fired from 60 to 70 yards away, while Patton was shot from about 30 to 40 yards away.

"That was a difficult shot, no question about it," Morris said about Meadows' slaying. "It's unlikely a handgun would be used. We do feel it was a smaller type caliber."

Waiting for the Talking Heads to start telling us that it's not Terrorist related.
