3. Sounds like somebody has a vendetta against the Marines.
Sure do hope nobody was injured/killed. I'd be willing to bet it's the same perp who did the other 2 shootings.

Do you live in that area? I went to school at GMU, but am from the western part of the state. Stay safe!

14. Could be.
I switched over to MSNBC to watch Dylan Ratigan. I'll flip back to CNN and try to catch it again. Thanks.

16. CNN just reported on it again.
There's video of the FBI there now-ongoing investigation. They did say it happened early this am or late last night. Video shows a line of people in uniform-looks like they're getting ready to sweep for shell casings.

2. Whoa - thanks. I never heard about the Pentagon/Museum incidents. Do you
know if they were just wild shots fired, as opposed to trying to hit somebody?

7. Here's one link, but there are more.
http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2010/10/ap-shots-fired-at-pentagon-101910/

Sounds to me like the govt. has been deliberately trying to downplay this, but don't think they'll be able to keep saying it's "random" much longer.

I can understand the authorities not wanting to panic the public, considering the horror of the beltway snipers, but it sure does look related to me.

8. Why would they be panicking the public? The DC death count
of shootings in the district should be a concern. It's a daily count..
