| "Sniper" Copycat in West Virginia? |
| 2003-08-15 |
| Hat tip Drudge. Edited for brevity. Two people were killed late Thursday in separate shootings outside Kanawha County convenience stores, in what police said could be related random shootings. The two became the second and third people shot dead outside Kanawha Valley convenience stores within four days, and the third and fourth people murdered in Kanawha County on a bloody Thursday. Thursday night, a woman was gunned down while pumping gas at a Campbells Creek convenience store about 10:20 p.m., while another person was shot slightly more than an hour later outside a Cedar Grove store. Both were killed. âThey appear to be random shootings,â said Lt. J.S. Bailes, Kanawha County sheriffâs spokesman. Initial reports were that the Campbells Creek victim had been shot in the head, but that could not be confirmed. Witnesses also said the Cedar Grove victim was shot in the head, though authorities did not confirm that, either. Sunday night, a South Charleston resident also was shot in the head and killed outside a convenience store. George Carrier Jr. 34, was killed while using a pay telephone outside a Charleston Go-Mart. Late Thursday, police across the Valley were alerted to increase patrols around stores with gas pumps. Police were alerted to look for a black pickup truck with gold trim seen leaving the Cedar Grove store and a dark-green or blue Chevrolet Corsica from the Campbells Creek shooting. Three seemingly random shootings, all headshots, in one area--Mohammed may have a fan. |

| #2 Definitely another bitter, angry white male loner who feels dispossessed. Just like in D.C. |
