Fox just reported a shooting at a Ponderosa in Ashland VA.  This is right off I-95, maybe 30 miles south of Fredericksburg.  

Apparently white truck described in area.  Police MIGHT be shutting down I-95, I didn't quite catch all of that.

Edited to add that the shooting was in the parking lot.

This sounds very similar to the Fredericksburg shooting last Friday.

I also understand the police are shutting down Route 1, which parallels I-95.  60 year male was taken to hospital.

Don't you just love our 9 to 5, weekends and holidays off news channels...you can't get news on the weekends anymore to save your life. If 9-11 had happened on a Saturday night we would not have seen pic's of the buildings coming down until Monday morning...Sheeeesh.

The reason they think it's related..it's near the highway and major road arteries.

Both earlier Fredericksburg shootings were off of I-95, near on ramps.  

The Manassas shooting was right off of an I-66 on ramp.  I believe the Bowie shooting was also near an interstate.

The Ponderosa in Ashland is maybe 1/10th mile from I-95 on ramps.

[blue]No local stations on this yet.  I hate that.  First to report the last was Washingtonpost.com

The last shooting was right of State Route 50 which leads to 495 and you can get into 395, 66 and Washington DC within minutes.

Looks like the sniper hit again.

The shooting took place at the Ponderosa Steak House on Hwy 54 in Ashland.  The restaurant is just about 1/2 mile from the interstate and maybe a mile or so from Hwy 1.  54 is the east west connector there.

This guys flown.  Dammit!

No word on the victim yet.  Not even sure it's the terrorist...but figure the odds it isn't.

Well, the bad news is somebody else got shot, the good news is we now know that the SOB is still in the country and that area. So much for the theory that the guy does not shoot on weekends.

Had a bad feeling there would be a shooting this weekend. Lulling everyone by not striking on the weekends and then striking. Plus several days to scope out new locations. Bastard.

I wonder if he shot tonight, because Chief Moose decided to quit giving daily press conferences and had said that there would be no more info on the shootings until noon Monday. Is the shooter punishing the authorities for not keeping his shooting spree in the spotlight?

I also think people think he is a good shot.  The problem is that I bet he is shooting sometimes and completely missing and people do not even know.

I was down that way to pickup a, ummmm black rifle in Quantico.

At the main gate I was required to exit my truck open all doors and hood while 2 Marines looked thru my vehicle.

Fox said 37 year-old male who was shot once in the back, in stable condition.  I guess one of them is correct.

Idiot Fox female reporter just asked County Police spokesman which roads are blocked.  Whose side is she on?

Fox is saying that the casing found in the van at the airport does not match...sounds like an old casing and maybe .222

The Fox news talking heads are really pushing the terrorism angle.  Also, one fella said the Senate need to get in gear and pass the homeland security bill.  Democrat SLAM!

I think for homeland security, every citizen of age should be issued an M4 and sidearm of their choice.
