Very sad indeed. We used to spend our summer vacation there and its a great place. When I heard the location this morning it took me awhile to place it but then it dawned on me it was Smith Mountain Lake.

Thoughts and prayers for all the families affected by this senseless tragedy.

Good! Here is an excerpt from a friend who works with the pursuing department but was not part of the chase. May the shooter rot in hell and the families of the deceased find peace.

The manifesto details that are coming out are chilling.
...spent the last year studying all major shootings
...rented car earlier this month
...carved the names of the SC shooting victims into his bullets

Unreal.



This is the location of the shooting:

Many of you have seen this lake before.

It's where the 1991 film "What About Bob?" was filmed with Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss.

If this isn't called a hate crime we are all doomed. This stuff has got to end. What little leadership exists in this country needs to get out in front of this and call it what it is and condemn this behavior. My heart goes out to those affected by the acts of violence and hate purported by this animal of a being.

RIP

Is that Bridgewater Marina by chance? Its been like 10-12 years since we've been there maybe more. Lots of great memories with our kids and friends.

Yes, that's exactly it.
Dark green awning in almost very center of picture is where shooting was, second level overlooking the mini-golf course (above boat docks, 12' above water) and band shell.

The condo building in the foreground is relatively new. That's a pad for another condo complex right on the point. The project went bankrupt, and the garage/pad is for sale for $3.25M.


You should come back for the Poker Run next year. We'll help you with logistics. Your boat would be great on this lake. It's always the weekend before Memorial Day, and is our unofficial season kickoff. www,marinerslanding.com is PR HQ.

Wow has it changed. I guess its actually been closer to 20 years now that I think about it. I have a picture on my desk of us in the water in front of the house we used to rent. We would take the kids to Bridgewater every evening for ice cream.

I really want to jump into the politics side of this, but I am trying very hard not to, while I do agree with the above statements, IMO there needs to be change to social media,

Rip and prayers to all involved,

RIP is the victims...

Rest In Piss to this F'in psychotic loser criminal...
