Is the FBI presence in Reston (and also rumored at SLHS) related?

I hope the FBI is involved in this one. I still can’t believe that a drive-by near Hutchison Elementary isn’t bigger news.

I've no idea what the FBI was doing, but it does not sound like it has anything to do with the schools or the drive by.

Going through a trail while wearing white covers? What are they looking for? Has there been a missing person? A murder in the woods? There was a murder near Hunters Woods Shopping Center a few years ago that was gang related, but isn't that police rather than FBI?

Not sure, but I’d sure like to know if there is an ongoing safety issue at the school or in the community.

Maybe there was a tip the weapon or other incriminating evidence was disposed in the woods?

Would that be FBI, though? Or police.

It depends, if this is all due to Herndon High gang activity, then there is likely a federal angle.

It may make you feel safer compartmentalizing a NOVA gang issue, but it is not limited to Herndon or the school. For gods sakes there was a gang killing in
great falls a few years ago. Educate yourself on the local gangs and how they operate.

It was just presented as a theory as to why FBI agents were searching the woods. Chill.

So, so sad.

On another note: the report of the FBI on the Reston trail. I just spoke to a family member who is a former federal prosecutor. He said it could be any number of things:

1. The coverings worn are either for their own protection (HAZMAT?) or the protection of evidence. More likely preservation of evidence.
2. The search pretty much has to be related to a federal crime--which could mean many, many types of crimes. It could be drugs, weapons, bodies, etc. As an aside, he mentioned that it could even be related to a bank robbery. He said he had a case where the robbers went out in the woods to split up the $$ and that is where the investigation took place looking for evidence. (I doubt that is the situation here.)

Just saw this, what a horror show this area is becoming. I assume that the SRO didn't raise the issue because they didn't want to have ICE looking into the status of the kids making the threats?

I'm not convinced the SRO was told. But, if the dad was not forthcoming with names, etrc, it would not do any good.

That article said the dad was moving because of fear --I think there is a whole lot more to this story.
