Within the last 1/2 hour or so, a 60 year-old man
was shot in Ashland, VA, about 20 miles north of Richmond. According to initial reports I copied by scanner from Va State Police, the victim was shot in the parking lot of a Ponderosa restaurant, 1/10 mile west of I95, and at last report was still alive. A white van with ladder rack is apparently connected to the shooting. The VSP states that they do not yet know if this incident is connected to the other shooting, but they all VSP Divisions
in the region are at their highest alert. Local, State and Federal units of all types, including FBI, Secret Service, National Park Police are staging, and all roads are shut down except for emergency vehicles.
STATE POLICE RADIO REPORT NOW STATES THAT A WHITE VAN WITH LADDER RACK, "LIT UP" BY SEARCHLIGHT BY FBI TASK FORCE, EVADED AND ALMOST STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE ON ROUTE 1 IN WOODBRIDGE... MY TOWN. LOCKING AND LOADING NOW.
