Shootings

The Washington area is buzzing with fear and theories as five seemingly random victims have been shot in the past 24 hours by a pair of young white thugs cruising in a commercial van. The shootings have been scattered over a few square miles of Montgomery County. It's right on my commute to and from church & small group meetings. If it had happened a day earlier, I would have ridden right through the area - wealthy, suburban developments - at 7:00 and again at 10:00. A bit disconcerting, though I'm not unduly distressed. Anyway, I'll keep abreast the situation.
