” The gun is a serial shooter. “

You mean ‘the AK47 Assault Rifle’??

Evidently the J-school dropout that wrote this article missed the class that teaches that all firearms are the dreaded AK47 Assault Rifles....

Didn’t the local PD say the shootings weren’t related? Uh, yeah. And considering the targets? I’d say somebody who doesn’t like Marines. Draw your own conclusions.

The headline editor apparently missed the what distinguishes a gun from a rifle from a pistol from a revolver class.

Man. This whole area around DC in Virgina and Maryland is a fever swamp of moonbattery.

Thank God for the DC Chapter of FR to counterbalance them!

It is a liberal doing this, no doubt in my mind. None.

FBI Opens Investigation Into Three Shootings in Northern Virginia

WASHINGTON—The FBI announced today that it has opened an investigation into three shootings that have occurred in Northern Virginia since October 17, 2010.

Investigative evidence has confirmed that shots fired at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Virginia, and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, involved a single weapon. Ballistics testing is underway for an overnight shooting that took place on October 25 or October 26 at the Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Chantilly, Virginia.

The incident at the National Museum of the Marine Corps took place during the early morning hours on October 17, 2010. A similar incident occurred at approximately 5 a.m. on October 19, 2010, at the Pentagon after officers reported audible shots fired in the vicinity of the Pentagon’s south parking lot, which faces I-395.

No further information, including a potential weapon used or the caliber of the ammunition, will be released at this time to preserve the integrity of investigative efforts.

The FBI’s Washington Field Office Joint Terrorism Task Force (WFO JTTF) provides critical incident response in the National Capital Region for both federal investigations and the request of any law enforcement agency. ...

Hopefully someone might give out good leads leading to the shooter’s arrest before he/she kills someone.
