I apologize if this has already been posted. I did look, but didn't see it.

A 56-year-old mechanic was arrested Wednesday in the shootings of two people at a scenic overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, Augusta County Sheriff Randy Fisher said. Ralph Leon Jackson was taken into custody without incident at his home in the county after authorities received a Crime Stoppers tip, the sheriff said at a news conference. Officers from several agencies moved in after staking out the house for nearly 12 hours, Fisher said, and they recovered a shotgun they believe was used in the Monday evening shootings.
According to the sheriff, there is no immediate indication that the shootings are connected to the unsolved slayings of two Virginia Tech students in the Jefferson National Forest last August. Heidi Childs and David Metzler were shot to death in August while parked at a campground.
They may be saying they aren't connected but it seems too much of a coincidence to me.
