As you may or may not know there is a sniper running around the Washington DC area shooting people with a .223 rifle.
The .223 round uses a small projectile, but because of its high velocity it's a powerful and highly accurate round at long ranges. It's primarily used in U.S. military rifles (AR-15 & M-16), hunting weapons intended for shooting varmits (woodchucks etc. are often shot at 200-400 yards) and competition target rifles.
This would be a highly unusual weapon for gang-bangers and organized crime types to be using, so those angles are very unlikely.
Details;
This whole thing took a turn for the worse today when a 13 year old boy was shot twice (once each in the chest & abdomen) when his aunt dropped him off at middle school in nearby Bowie, Maryland.
The police are now characterizing the incidents as "terroristic", but won't say the magic words: "acts of terrorism"
Still thinking about those al Qaeda traing tapes they found near Tora Bora. They instructed in drive-by's in general and had sections instructing in how to attack schools.
