Another FATAL shooting in Montgomery County (Unrelated to Sniper shooting spree)

Wires | 10/10/02 | Self

[Gigantor]

Reports coming in of another fatal shooting which occured approximately 10:30PM Eastern near Kensington section of Montgomery County near Rockville.

[Gigantor]

When will it end...

[Voltage]

When it does the relatives of the dead should be given the opportunity to kill the murderer in whatever way they wish.

[Dallas]

Nothing on FOX yet...

[agrace]

Any other details? No link - do you have one?

Guy must be getting a bit more cautious - if this is another shooting, it's the second consecutive after dark.

[homeschool mama]

Oh no!

[RoseofTexas]

Plain and simple..this is a TERRORIST attack on americans on our own soil! Just watch this ANIMAL is probably a MUSLIM!!

[Thane_Banquo]

May Our Father visit his perfect vengeance upon this murderer.

[Mixer]

This is horrible. They have to be close to this guys now. Man I feel for everyone living in that area of the country. Pray and keep these people in your thoughts.

[habs4ever]

Revisiting the original scene of the crime.

[ChadGore]

Sources please !

[sinkspur]

Calm yourself and tell us where you're getting this information.

"Wires" doesn't tell us much.

[JulieRNR21]

This is TERROR....indeed!

[RepubMommy]

I am not seeing this on any of the channels.

Unfortunately, the relatives of the dead will be forced to pay the attorney fees for the murderers through their taxes.

[SunnyUsa]

Where did you hear this... I've heard nothing yet.

[William McKinley]

Just for a little perspective. He would have to do what he has done about 300 times more to be on the scale of what the Sept. 11 terrorists did.

[LADY J]

Nothing here yet - not on TV or radio.

[Gigantor]

Update: Not related to 'sniper', this was a bar room fight that resulted in a shooting.

[bluefish]

profile says he works in the newsroom of one of the big three broadcasters...

[tomkat]

this shi'ite's gettin' really old ...

* will gladly eat last week's words if this is not some flavor of salamikazi

[William McKinley]

That's 300 times as often as he has done so far, not just 300 times more. Poorly phrased.

[goright]

[Gigantor]

I'm very calm. I'm also in the newsroom.

Lots of us have family right there. Have been praying continually...

Where was this heard? I was just getting ready to close down when this broke.

Let's stay calm please and do not post willie nillie reports like this!

[WarSlut]

Thank you for the quick update.

[agrace]

I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to live in that area. I'm perfectly willing to admit it - I told my husband last night that if it were happening here, I would have a VERY hard time taking our kids outside anywhere unless absolutely necessary. I'm all for not living in fear, but I'd rather lie low and eat from the freezer for a couple weeks than have any lunatic take pot shots at my children, who include the unborn one, right now in his/her third trimester.

My husband disagreed with me, which is understandable, and my response was "Well, I'm just glad I don't have to make that decision."

May God watch over those Americans who defy this guy every day by going about their business, and help them to stand against their fear, which must be pretty intense. And of course, Lord, help them get this guy and soon.

Per WMAL: Appears to be a fight that escalated to a shooting at a bar in Aspen Hill.

[deport]

IS this the same thing you are talking about?

Fatal shooting in Aspen Hill, police say it's unrelated—

(Aspen Hill-AP) -- Montgomery County police say there's been a
fatal shooting in Aspen Hill.
A police spokeswoman says they strongly believe there's no
connection to the sniper shootings.
It happened shortly after 10 p-m on Peartree Court. Police say
they got reports of a fight that resulted in a fatal shooting.

[William McKinley]

Thanks for both the fast heads up and the fast "not related".

(Pssst- don't you know you can get fired for being a conservative in a newsroom?)

[tomkat]

i'm not much for prayin',
but yours is one i'll give an amen to ...

[mhking]

Fatal shooting in Aspen Hill, police say it's unrelated—

Yeah that sounds like it - I was just listening to WMAL, and they confirmed the same thing.

[bluefish]

What's a "willie nillie" report? I like breaking news, even if it is relatively unverified. Otherwise, I could turn off the computer and wait for the morning paper.

[agrace]

Just prayed for your family, valleygal.

That's as much as we know on this end as well.

[Gigantor]

"Thanks for both the fast heads up and the fast "not related".

Don't I know it. I try not to spread it around, believe me.

[Shooter 2.5]

I do appreciate you giving us the update that it was a bar shooting but, geez, if you would have waited 10 minutes....

It sounds very callous to think that, oh good, it was only a horrible killing of a human being in a saloon. I must be losing my prospective if I'm thinking that.

Again, thanks for the update.

[xp38]

Prayers for your unborn and family. Prayers for those living in fear at this time. May they have the strength to endure this.

[OldFriend]

Sorry, whoever posted this simply reported what was on the news. Nothing willy nilly about it at all.

[Gigantor]

"I do appreciate you giving us the update that it was a bar shooting but, geez, if you would have waited 10 minutes...."

That's 'breaking news' as fast as it breaks. The first report came in that there has been a fatal shooting located in Montgomery County - period.

That gets plenty of attention. Reporters scramble to find out more, hence, the update.

[agrace]

Hey thanks! :)

[valleygal]

Thank you, agrace. Just talked to both sisters. They are fine. Niece is getting antsy at being home every night, but hey, she's only 15. She'll get over it.

Said hundreds of cops were pulling over every blue pickup on 270 and area. Guess they finally got the guy who shot at the woman today (the road rage thing).

[JulieRNR21]

I also have loved ones in that area ....it's just horrible...I'm very worried.....praying contantly!

[hapsgroupie]

It was just on a local news channel gere in CA, but there wasn't much. Nothing that we don't already know.

[valleygal]

And prayers for you too, and your family and baby!

Oh my god! I did a little searching on the guy that wrote that story! I looked up his nickname and found some strange posts. I will get back with more. Seems to be arguing with others that he has a life, stayes home from school but does nothing with life. BRB
