I hope this shooter is apprehended before more people are hurt!
 
I hate these random snipers. It is nothing short of domestic terrorism.
 
Anyone know of any description of a suspect? suspect's car?

Any gathered info on what time of day all the incidents took place?


IMHO this is a very worrying case in development, a new serial sniper?
 
Apparently in several of the cars that had their windows smashed police could not find any bullets/bulletholes.

A long stretch I know but is it possible that the shooter used ice bullets ?

Apparently the Mythbusters have debunked it, however a formulation chemist says that it IS possible
if you improve the "recipe"

I tip my hat to the Mythbusters, but I have to say I believe it is entirely possible.

The Mythbuster ice bullet was brittle because they did not deaerate the water. A very cold, deaerated bullet would be hard, and not melt when fired.

Speaking as a formulation chemist,

Any problems with the ice bullet being brittle could be solved by doing a little chemical research using polymers to modify the rheology of the ice. This is a very common practice to modify fluid behavior.

I think a problem with using such bullets could be the impracticality of carrying around extremely cold bullets. This would require a generator and freezer. I bet you might have a design problem with getting gun powder to ignite at low temperatures, but I am confident that could be solved as well.
 
Two more incidents this morning. One south of Wellington and the other near US 34.

from the link above:
David Moore, a Sheriff's Office spokesman, said deputies responded to both incidents and did not find anything to make them believe a firearm was used. He also said investigators have not established a direct link with any of the shattering windows with the shooting incident that left a woman critically injured last week.

There might be a bit of media hype going on.

Found this, however it is in no way certain that this kind of vehicle is that of the shooters:

Quote:
The sheriff's office last week said the only description of the suspect vehicle was that it was a dark-colored SUV.

Quote:
The injured Milliken woman told investigators that was the only vehicle she remembers seeing prior to being shot..
 
So this story evidently will enter the canons of Urban Myth.
