[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really odd. That's a quiet neighborhood.[/quote]

Yes, very scary. Especially if it turns out to be a random intruder.[/quote]

It would be almost incomprehensible if a random person broke into their house, made their way to the bedroom, and shot the husband while leaving the wife unharmed.  Not impossible, but so far-fetched that it wouldn’t even make for a good crime drama[/quote]

Like I said - targeted. Someone wanted him for some reason. [/quote]

NP. Not necessarily targeted. It could have been a burglary gone wrong.

Look up the Quisenberry murders in 1997 in Vienna. I remember that at the time (the case, as far as I can tell, is still unsolved), the couple was shot in their home late at night; police believed that the motive was burglary, and that the burglars entered the home through an unlocked door. The word around Vienna at the time and afterward was that police thought the killer(s) might have taken Metro, gotten off at the Vienna station, and just started roaming neighborhoods in search of any house they could enter easily. The couple was killed in their bed, from what I recall. For certain, their car ended up somewhere pretty far from Vienna (in a MD suburb) after the killers took it and abandoned it. I looked this case up and there's not much there -- someone was a suspect about 12 years after the killings but I don't see that any arrest came of that investigation.

The Quisenberry murders shook people up at the time and for a long time after, for obvious reasons. Investigators said no one seemed to have any beef with them, never anything found to show they were targeted, or had secrets to hide that got them killed. Just ra random burglary gone wrong and both shot to death. It can and does happen, sadly.[/quote]
