As reported by Jon Fox filling in for Bob Kincaid last night, eight people were killed in Virginia yesterday, when a white American man went on a shooting spree. The question was posed – “Would he ever be called a ‘terrorist?’” Hell, we can’t even get the media to cover the story! It’s just another white guy killing people. Nothing to see here.

Suspect Surrenders in Virginia Killing of 8 People

A man suspected of shooting and killing eight people on Tuesday near a thickly wooded area of south-central Virginia surrendered Wednesday morning, a state police official said.

The police reassured the public after an all-night stand in which over a hundred officers surrounded the man, who the police said on Tuesday shot at several officers and hit a police helicopter, forcing it to make an emergency landing.

“The community can now know that they are safe,” said Sgt. Thomas Molnar, a spokesman for the Virginia State Police

Late Tuesday, Sergeant Molnar identified the man as Christopher B. Speight, 39, who was surrounded in the woods near his home.

The authorities said three bodies were found in a house possibly belonging to Mr. Speight, four bodies were found outside the house and an eighth victim was found by the side of the road and died on the way to the hospital.

A State Police official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the investigation, said two of the victims were thought to be the wife and the son of Mr. Speight. He would not give other details.
