WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI is urging a gunman who has fired repeatedly after hours at military buildings to surrender to authorities.
FBI spokeswoman Katherine Schweit says the bureau believes the unknown shooter is hurting, but says she doesn’t believe the individual wants to hurt anyone. No one has been hurt so far.
Police in Virginia are investigating an overnight shooting at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, the fourth shooting at military buildings in the Washington area. FBI Assistant Director John Perren says it bears the hallmarks of the previous shootings but authorities are trying to match the forensics to see if that’s the case.
First Sgt. Kim Chinn, a Prince William County police spokeswoman, says multiple shots were fired sometime after the museum closed Thursday night.

TRIANGLE, Va. (AP) — Police in Virginia say bullet holes were found at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, the fourth time someone has fired at military-related buildings in the area.
No one was hurt in any of the shootings.
First Sgt. Kim Chinn, a Prince William County police spokeswoman, says multiple shots were fired sometime after the museum closed Thursday night. The museum is in Triangle, Va., about 30 miles south of the Pentagon.
Bullet holes were first found at the museum Oct. 17. Two days later, shots were fired into two windows at the Defense Department in suburban Virginia.
A third military office — a Marine Corps recruiting station in Chantilly, Va., outside Washington — was shot at late Monday or early Tuesday.
The FBI says the same gun was used in the first three cases.

Our great country was founded by and for the citizens of the thirteen colonies. It was designed to insure that a central government was controlled and limited by representatives of those citizens. It was given a limited amount of power, with many checks and balances, to secure the rights and freedoms for its citizens. They were making sure that an American Government would and could not become as Britian had. England enacted laws and taxes on their American subjects, but without allowing the colonies a say in their government. Ignoring the will of the people of America, they bullied and took away what limited rights they had and tried to force them to comply. Sound familiar? Yes, we don’t have to look far across the Atlantic at a despotic leader, we have only to look at the Oval Office in Washington, D. C. and to those whom we had entrusted the liberties of the people and the country. Our representatives, Senate and the House, are there to represent the will of the people. Instead, they have consistently lied to their constituents, both during campaigns and when in office. They have consistently robbed the American people, not only of their money, but also by stealing their liberties, little by little. The incumbent office holders allow themselves to be above the law, they allow themselves to steal by back-room corrupt deals and the like. They ignore the very people who put them in office, they even resort to passing laws, under cover of darkness. They hide laws and corrupt deals in the midst of thousand of pages of laws. This has always been a trick of unethical lawyers. Their mindset is to bog down any opposition by inudating them with mountains of paperwork. Then, they laugh and call the people stupid and ignorant, or worse! No doubt, I could go on and on. Their lack of character, morals and ethics makes them unfit to be employed anywhere, let alone entrusted with the security, freedom, and economic growth of this great country. They have taken your freedom to worship, especially targeting Christianity. They have tried to rewrite the American history, to further their agendas, just like the Moslems continue to do with Israel.
Soon after deciding what sort of Government America was to become, that very question was asked of Benjamin Franklin. In reply Franklin said, “A Republic….if we can keep it”. This is a question that should be upon the lips of all true American patriots. If we can’t or more correctly, if we won’t, then we don’t deserve it. The choice is up to us, the American people, and the answer should be and must be yes we will!
You’re probably asking how do we insure that we will keep this nation a free Republic. Oh, we voted for only those who promised no more taxes, no more spending, etc., etc. Of course they all were proven to be liars again (or should I have said they were just not quite forthcoming or perhaps they were a little disingenuious?). Then we did the “best of the two evils” choice. This was no different than the “Magician’s Choice” trick! We now know that there is no difference between Republicans and the Democrats when it comes to which is telling the truth. Neither has the best interest of America at heart, probably not even in mind! Their goal is simply to acquire power, money, more power and more money while doing and saying anything to remain in office.
So what is the answer? They don’t listen when the people, overwhelmingly, protest and tries to voice their opposition. So the American people need to get their UNDIVIDED attention. How? WE THE PEOPLE, must vote any and all incumbents out of office. It doesn’t matter if they are better than most. If they haven’t been part of the solution, then they are part of the problem. THEY MUST KNOW AND WE MUST LET THEM KNOW THAT GOVERNMENT WILL NO LONGER BE RUN BY ROUGUE LAWYERS AND OPPORTUNISTS, PROGRESSIVES (AKA SOCIALISTS), ETC. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN MODERN-DAY CARPETBAGGERS OR WANNA-BE DICTATORS. THEY MUST BE EDUCATED TO THE FACT THAT THEY WILL BE VOTED OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN, UNTIL THEY LEARN THAT OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO RUN THEIR OWN VERISON OF CRIME, INC.
AND THOSE THAT ARE ELECTED TO OFFICE, BUT CONTINUE TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT WILL SOON LEARN THEY WILL HAVE ONLY ONE TERM IN OFFICE.
We, the people, need to lobby our newly elected representatives to enact new laws to insure ALL our freedoms, our security, etc. Enact laws that ethical or criminal behavior of representatives will be prosecuted swiftly and severly, with no possibility of any pardon…not by a state Governor nor by a President! Enact laws or amendments to limit a President to one term only, ensuring that any damage to our country will not be as damaging as is obvious with this Government. Further limit the terms of our Representatives, both in the Senate and the House. Imperative to limit the term of all Supreme Court Justices to no more than an eight year term and make an amendment that the justices can no longer re-interpret the Constitution, but uphold the laws as it was written and intended by the original framers.
So, the bottom line is this: unless the American people get the undivided attention of those in government…when you and your family members are homeless and hungry or at the very least jobless…remember, you have only yourselves to blame.
THE ONLY WAY TO INSURE THAT YOUR FUTURE REPRESENTATIVES WILL LISTEN TO ITS CONSTITUENTS IS VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS!!! FROM THAT POINT ON, EACH REPRESENTATIVE MUST KNOW WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL WE HAVE RESPONSIBLE REPRESENTATIVES THAT UNDERSTAND THEY ARE THERE FOR THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
You Can’t Fix Stupid – but you Can Vote ‘Em Out !!!

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 1:45pmFrom the Boondocks. It can also be called “sighting in the gun”. Not knowing what caliber shell is being used, with a spotting scope you can understand the fall and the drift of the projectile. A large area is needed to be able to locate the the point of impact. Plus, with the great news coverage they will also learn more details. If you doubt the above, watch the Military Channel to understand how a sniper sights his weapon. A mile away shot is nothing anymore. From a true American and a NRA member.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 12:23pmThat is ridiculous Glen advocates for peace and the tea party as much as ‘they’ want to paint us as crazy are overall peaceful. Of course the folks watching and reading from the far left media wouldn’t know that since they are too busy to check it out and see if they speak the truth or not.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 12:10pmI would almost bet that this is a family member who lost a loved one in the war. The fact that this is done at night seemingly meant to hurt no one gives at least a little testimony to that. We know it isn‘t an Islamic attack since it isn’t a hospital, school or restraunt being targeted.Those animals want as much civillian damage as possible.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 12:26pmThis fourth attack seems to specifically targeting areas of the marines, twice the museum and once each a marine recruiter station plus a pentagon office area I understand may be part of the marines operations structure.
Something else is coming down the line here. We have too many things going on to just be a series of coincidences – both from the outside (terrorists) and the internal (Progressives and Socialists).
Go and Vote Tuesday, yet keep watch and vigilant.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 12:23pmI agree. I saw the presser and they are already assuming it’s a Marine, which is pretty stupid considering they assumed the DC shooter was a white male. Whoever it is, hope they are caught before they take the next step.
