Clearly, somebody took that dude's Thug Life Arlington rap video a little too seriously.
does John Hodgman have an alibi?
I'm glad my laziness won out over my desire to get my PowerBook fixed. I was "planning" on being there this morning. Still, armed robbery, wow.
The report on WJLA/ABC only said that robbery was a possible motive, and noted that it could be domestic violence. A woman was shot in the upper body by a man.
WTTG/Fox says the shooter was wearing a fake beard. Weird.

Should have used the Windows to get in to the store.

I thought OS X was supposed to be less vulnerable to backdoor attacks.
It was until it met Over the River. But I don't want to talk about it.
Touché
Sommer,
Gizmodo is covering this as well. They are also linking to YouTube videos of store surveillance posted by Arlington Co. P.D. I think it would be more useful to expose this to our local readership who will have a better chance of spotting this guy than the international audience of Giz. Crime Stoppers is offering $1000 on info leading to arrest, I believe.
