| Ohio authorities link 12 shootings | |
| 2003-12-03 | |
| We've been ignoring this, even while the John Mohammad/Lee Malvo trial's been going on. Is there a turban involved? Or a goof? Shooting up the school makes me think it's a kid... Authorities have linked 12 shootings along a five-mile stretch of interstate around Columbus, including one that killed a woman and another that broke a window at an elementary school. Four of the shootings â three at vehicles and one at the school last month â were from the same gun, Franklin County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Steve Martin said Tuesday.

| #10 RC - I've rethought my comments. You're right. In addition to your (correct) examples, CPD officers recently had to attend a training seminar on working with the local Somalies. Some of the training topics; Don't directly look at them in the eye when asking questions (that's confrontational) and NEVER question a woman without her man's permission. I wish I was kidding. . . . I stand corrected. |

| #9 Doc, I wouldn't be so sure about the local Muslims not seething. AFAICR there was a recent case of child abuse being covered up "for the honor of the family", and I remember a ROPer torching a liquor store up there for having the temerity to sell booze on Friday. |

| #8 Nonsense. Anyone with eyes can see it's the work of a lone white male. /sarcasm Doc8404...We caught our snipers after 3 weeks of hell last year. I wish you and the Buckeye residents all luck and haste in finding yours. But if Chief Moose shows up, give him a cup of coffee and ask him to go sit in the other room. |

| #7 Growler - no evidence yet as to ethnicity so we best hold off but, us folks within range of this butthead are hopping the law is looking into EVEYTHING. After one of the intial shootings a few weeks back the cops returned the slug dug out of a wounded vehicle to the owner stating they had no interest in keeping it. After the woman was killed last week they went back and asked for the slug back. Damn sloppy police work in my book! The Muslim community here doesn't normally seeth and is largely well respected but. . . you just never know do you. If it's any comfort us Buckeyes have no problem making use of "Old Sparky". |

| #6 I was wondering about this myself, this morning. Found this on the web: Join IVC at this third and final neighborhood dialogue as we explore âDiverse Traditions-Common Idealsâ. Columbus has recently experienced a large influx of new immigrants of Muslim faith, but also has a fairly large population of established immigrants and American-born Muslims. This evening will feature a panel of new and established leaders of the Islamic community to share their perceptions and challenges of assimilating into the greater Central Ohio community. Also, LGF reported on a trucker from Columbus, Ohio, who pled guilty to a terrorism charge. I'm not saying whoever is doing this shooting is a Muslim. But I wonder... |

| #5 Perhaps ignoring it is the best way to discourage more shootings... |

| #3 Why would a shot at a school suggest a kid? Malvo also took at least one shot at a school. |

| #2 There has been a certain restraint on the reporting about this crime. Jocko maybe, not sure! Lets hope the good guys can put this idiot out. |
