According to police reports, at least one gunshot was fired overnight Monday at a Coast Guard recruiting office in Prince William County, Va. Though police have made no official confirmation that this shooting is connected to a recent series of incidents targeting other military locations in the area– such as the Pentagon and the Marine Corps Museum — the shooting at the Coast Guard office appears to be strikingly similar.
The Coast Guard recruitment center is located near Potomac Mills in Woodbridge, Va. According to local news accounts, employees of the center all escaped injury, finding evidence of the shooting only when they arrived at work Tuesday morning.
“I can tell you that the glass was not broken,” Prince William County Police spokeswoman Kim Chinn said. “It has been damaged. I don’t know how many shots have been fired.”
Law enforcement officials, including the FBI, are investigating. It was not immediately known if this incident is related to several other shootings at military establishments in that area. All four of those previous shootings have been linked, police said Tuesday.

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 7:50pmToo early to tell whether this shooter is just trying to scare somebody and vent his anger in the process. OR if he is the Real Deal, he may be setting his “Range Stakes” with dry runs at various locations/conditions.
Doubtful that he is a common criminal like the D.C. Snipers, that acted like the pure novices that they were. Even as ridiculous as they were, they could still be shooting people today if they hadn’t “Caught Themselves” with their bungled Extortion attempt. The “Authorities” never had a clue who they were looking for, until the shooters started communicating with them. The Stazi Police were chasing their collective tails, looking for a lone 35 yr.old, White male, Milita type, in a White Van, with an attitude about the Government.
Since all the targets so far are of the Military Nature, the current shooter may well be ex-military, with an axe to grind. Lord help them IF he is a trained Operator and starts shooting people, the Stazis will be S.O.L. catching him, unless somebody drops a dime on him. But if he has kept his mouth shut, and his Urban Field Craft is any good, Big Problem.

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 8:39pmNot necessarily of an ex-military type. Probable, yes, and still needs to be considered. If someone is practicing enough, they can be a non-military type and still shoot incredibly well. Some of us here do practice with rifles on the range, and I reasonably can out shoot them, just from a lifetime of hunting and practice.

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 6:54pmNo not suprised, this is most likely someone with a large hatered or grudge against the armed forces. That is to myself the most likely, it also could be someone scouting out the areas for a series of sniper type attacks later on.
