re: Anybody lived in the Washington DC area during the DC Sniper?

We didn’t have outdoor recess for a month. A lot of parents didn’t let their kids play outside after school and weekends. Mine and my friends did. Every time we saw a white van we’d run and take cover, half jokingly. My friends uncle is a contractor and drove a white van with ladders. He got pulled over non stop until they caught they guys.

At one point 9 out of 11 victims had died or something, so people were trying to link it to terrorism. Just a wild few weeks.

Kind of surprised we have never seen a copy cat considering the nut jobs out there that have no problem shooting places up. I guess there are so many more cameras around that it could be easier to catch someone.

I had to travel through the area a couple of times. I also had to stop for gas, too. There was a little bit of anxiety filling up.

I did. One of their victims was a woman shot in a Home Depot parking lot about 3 blocks away from my apartment complex on Rt. 7.

I used to get gas at the Chevron at Seven Corners, which is right out in the open on an elevated position, but after the shooting, I started getting it at gas station that have no sight lines.

Of course, they were targeting white people, but that was given almost no attention by the media.
