Another shooting, this time in Manassas, Va. They haven't offically linked the shooting to the sniper, but its the same M.O.....one shot, at a gas station, from a wooded area.....


I'm waiting for the phone to ring any minute and getting asked to come into work.

I wish we could get this son of a bitch.
 
Hopefully he will be cought soon, the more acts he commits the more chances there will be of someone seeing him.
 
Kinda reminds me of Zodiac with the taunting police and all. Whoever he is, he won't stop until he's caught and likely killed.
 
They need to find this guy and shoot him on the spot. No trials, hearings or repeals. Find him and shoot the MORON


He didn't give his victims a trial so screw him !!!!
 
A quick killing would be way too merciful for this person, in my book.

fergy, you and all the officers up that direction, take care. I'm praying that this person is found as soon as possible.

To bad we stoped hanging back 77 years ago.
and burning at the post a long time ago to.

I dont see what kind of high he is getting from doing this, i mean how would he fell if some Sniper killed his family like this? some ppl are just assholes in this world.

and off the wall but what kind of gun is he useing? because due to billistics if the round is exploding when he hits the person he will be hard to find that way.
 
I say we get him at his own game. Once they get a good idea who he is, get our special forces snipers after him and just pick off body parts.

But seriouslly, I hope they nab this guy.

Don't know what kind of weapon it is, but its been a .223 round everytime. It could be anything from an M-16 to an AR-15.


I just got back from the grocery store. It was weird seeing how empty it was of shoppers. The whole plaza was empty......

This guy has two states and the nation's capital by the balls.

after looking on the net. it could be as you said Ar-15 M-16.

Mini-14, SKS, AK-47, or all most any deer gun.

I have shot a Mini and a SKS and looked at a AR.

I dont belive it is an AK or SK

My guess would be a AR, Mini, or a Remington 700.
 
This is an article in today's Dayton Daily News that, among other things, compares this lowlife's need for notoriety to that of the Son of Sam. I found the section at the end particularly compelling:

Va. Shooting Could Be Same Sniper
By MATTHEW BARAKAT
Associated Press Writer

MANASSAS, Va. (AP)--A seventh fatal shooting in the Washington area is "consistent'' with six others and may be the work of the same sniper, authorities said Thursday.

Dean Harold Meyers, 53, of Gaithersburg, Md., was gunned down Wednesday night moments after filling his tank at a northern Virginia gas station. An autopsy shows he was killed by a single shot to his upper body, Prince William Police Chief Charlie Deane said.

Authorities stressed they had not conclusively linked the slaying to the others but cited the similarities with the eight shootings, six of them fatal, since Oct. 2 in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

It "appears to be consistent with the other shootings in the region,'' Deane said.

Police were searching for a white minivan seen leaving the scene of the Manassas shooting.

Two men had been seen in a white van shortly after the sniper slayings began eight days ago in the Washington suburbs. The vehicle described by witnesses to Wednesday's shooting was similar _ a white "panel truck.''

"It's a minivan but instead of windows around the side, it's solid. We don't know about windows in the back,'' Sgt. Kim Chinn, a Prince William County police spokeswoman, told reporters earlier Thursday. The vehicle was described as looking like a Dodge Caravan, she said.

Manassas is approximately 30 miles west of the nation's capital and about 40 miles southwest of Bowie, Md., the site of Monday's shooting that wounded a boy outside a school.

"The assurance we can give the community is we are working as hard as we can,'' Chinn said.

Maryland investigators went to the scene of Wednesday's killing because of similarities with the previous shootings, and Virginia police were sharing information with them.

"We are certainly working the case with that (a possible link) in mind,'' Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose said Thursday morning. But at midday, he said investigators still had not established a connection.

Investigators say the sniper, or snipers, fired from a distance with a high-powered hunting or military-style rifle. All the earlier victims had been felled by a single bullet; authorities wouldn't comment Thursday on whether Meyers also was killed that way.

A former neighbor of Meyers, Carol Iverson, described him as "perfectly delightful. ... He always had a kind word.'' She said they remained close after she moved, and he had visited her home just last week.

Officials announced Thursday they had set up a single tip line for people wanting to report information. That number is 1-888-324-9800.

The 13-year-old schoolboy wounded in Bowie on Monday remained in critical but stable condition Thursday. A woman wounded in Fredericksburg, Va., last week was released from the hospital Tuesday.

A tarot card with the words "Dear policeman, I am God'' was found near a .223-caliber shell casing outside the school in Bowie, a source familiar with the investigation said on the condition of anonymity.

Moose wouldn't comment Wednesday when asked about the tarot card, and angrily suggested unapproved information had been leaked.

"I need to make sure I don't do anything to hinder our ability to bring this person or these people into custody,'' Moose said.

The "I am God'' message left on the tarot card called the Death card was first reported by WUSA-TV and then by The Washington Post. Police sources told the newspaper the items were found 150 yards from the school in a wooded area on matted grass, suggesting the gunman had lain in wait.

The Post on Thursday reported that the tarot card also contained a handwritten request from the sniper that it not be revealed to the media. Some detectives had hoped that if they honored the request, the sniper might communicate with investigators again, the newspaper quoted sources as saying.

Tarot cards, used mainly for fortunetelling, are believed to have been introduced into western Europe by Gypsies in the 15th century. Many tarot enthusiasts say the Death card usually does not connote physical death, but instead portrays a symbolic change or transformation.

Crime experts, while noting that the link between the card and the sniper remained unconfirmed, recalled other serial killers who left ``calling cards.''

One of the most notorious was David Berkowitz, who killed six people in New York in 1976-77. He wrote a letter to newspaper columnist Jimmy Breslin and left a note addressed to a police detective that said: "I am a monster. I am the 'Son of Sam.'''

Robert K. Ressler, a former FBI profiler, interviewed Berkowitz after his arrest.

"He said this was a stimulating thing for him to see the letters in the paper,'' Ressler said. "Even though he's the only one who knows, notoriety becomes very satisfying to an inadequate loser. It's a way of imposing power and control over society.''

"The Post on Thursday reported that the tarot card also contained a handwritten request from the sniper that it not be revealed to the media. Some detectives had hoped that if they honored the request, the sniper might communicate with investigators again, the newspaper quoted sources as saying. "

If this report is true (??) it at least explains why the investigating officials were so pissed about the story of the card and it message leaking out.

The only stimulation I have any interest in this person(s) getting is of a more radical and terminal nature. If he is leaving calling cards , I have no need to know. As leads for the investigators outstanding. Information on vehicles, descriptions and such are useful to the public and the publics knowledge of them can prove helpful to law enforcement. Otherwise, keep it closed. IMO
 
They just confirmed that the shooting is linked to the sniper(officially).

Its true. Funny how the media keeps saying that..over and over.

And over and over and over and over and over.............
 
Thanks fergey, wasn't sure but thought it might be.

Saw a little debate thing on CNN or one of those last night about media responsibility in reporting such leaks. One of the media guys had me ready to punch the TV. A retired COP (Chief of Police() was his deal level best to be nice, but should have called the arrogant SOB down for what he was.

Don't get me started, I can only imagine what you folks must think.

'Cept of course for the "leaker". God help him if he gets exposed.
 
Its like having a little piece of cheese and dropping it in front of 1000 hungry rats and telling them not to eat it.

I'm sure the "leaker" has been delt with. You would think the media would use a little common sense, but then again, its the media.....
 
Fergy, I just read a Reuters piece saying it is deffinetly the same shooter:mad:

Its the same shooter again and the white van has been factored out.

A note was also reported to been found near the scene. Unknown if it has anything to do with the shooting.
