On the Loose

Yesterday's murderer is still on the loose. I fear I misinformed you all saying it was a pair of white males: fact is, for all we know it could be a set of female black triplets or a mad Polynesian scientist. What we do know is that they have a powerful gun and a well-trained hand. Six shots were fired, only one - the first - missed its target. That one merely drilled a small hole in the window of a bustling craft store. Five more shots hit their marks, with the victims dying in seconds. There is no apparent connection among the victims: three Caucasians, an Indian, and a Hispanic. Three men, two women. All adults, all outdoors. One vacuuming her car at a gas station, one mowing a friend's lawn. One reading on a park bench, one pumping gas, and still another walking across a parking lot. All within a 3 mile radius in southeastern Montgomery County.

And the police are still in the dark.
