I just caught the news bulletin that there was a shooting at the 7-Corners shopping center in Falls Chrurch, VA. The shooting was outside the Home Depot store and all of the local road are being shut down.

Ironically, I just got home from the Fairfax Home Depot store about 15 minutes ago. :Q

Not sure. The news is still developing since it just happened.

Police had someone in custody, just "asking questions" Was he released or still held?

He was brought in for questioning today - and was cooperating. He lives in Baltimore, ownes an AR-15 and a white delivery van. :Q - I haven't heard / read any updates where he was released. However, if the police found anything substantial during the interview, I'm sure the news would have been full of information.

What is weird about the 7-Corners area of Falls Church is that it isn't near a "major" interstate. Sure, you have Route 50 and Route 7 immediately in that area, but those roads have traffic lights on nearly every street corner. Plus, 495 is about 5 miles west of this location. The location doesn't exactly "fit" with the profiles of the other shootings.

You talking about this guy?:

Yep that was the one. Wonder if someone is going to make sure he was home.

yeah, I don't see waht all the complaining is about !



J/k, this is pretty ridiculous though. I'm gonna guess it's either a crazy white guy or a group of terrorists. Hope they catch the bitch(es) soon.

This guy driving a white astro van must have neighbors who can attest to his location at whatever time... unless he lives by himself in the middle of the woods... thoughts ?

Now they say it's a creme astro van according to the chief of police. Either way, it's white[ish].

The roadblocks they have in the area are simply huge.. that's going to take forever to search through...
