I hate these people with every fiber in my bone. Who the hell fires into a packed bus?!!?!? Hunt this fool down, tie an anvil to his ankle, and drop him into the Anacostia River.
Don't they have this guys picture on information on file from when he registered his firearm?
Firing into a bus? Hope they charge him with terrorism.
just as astounding that someone could do an act of terrorism like this is that those two were able to walk away from the bus without getting caught.
they probably walked into Walmart and bought some candy and got back on the X2 on the way home.
great job DC police!
Disgusting. He deserves the karma that's coming his way.
