I can be pretty sure in saying there would be more dead due to wildly firing around at suspicious individuals. If people take out their guns why wouldn't other gun toters fire at them?

One last thing. It does not seem the killer murdered those individual people for any reason. They probably killed because they really like guns and wanted to use it to have fun.

The police have confirmed that the man shot in DC on Thursday was killed with the same rifle as three of the five Maryland victims. The bullets from the other two Maryland victims are pretty damaged, but I think there is no doubt that they were shot by the same person.

Also, a woman was shot in Fredericksburg, VA yesterday, and is in serious condition. Under investigation now.

Shooting skeet is fun, shooting people is murder. Any sane and resonable person knows the difference.
