The stretch of highway was closed from 12:10am until 6am this morning. Albemarle County Schools were closed as a result of the shootings. Col. Steve Flaherty told foxnews.com that he did not know for sure how long this had gone on but said that it appeared the same weapon was used in all shooting incidents along the route.

Security Breach


As news has spread about Senator Obama's passport being breached now comes the news that he was not the only Presidential Candidate whom someone had gained access to. Senator John McCain and Hillary Clinton's passport information was also breached. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a personal phone call to Presidential candidate Omaba about the situation and measures being taken to make sure such information remains as safe as possible and out of the wrong hands. Clinton's information was accessed in the summer of 2007 during a training exercise where employees were encouraged to enter names of family members, but one chose Senator Clinton. The two people responsible for accessing Obama's information are now without a job and the third has been reprimanded. Now it's all a matter of digging for the truth as to why and what were these people expecting to find or gain from breaching passport information? According to foxnews.com John McCain issued a statement saying "The U.S. government has a responsibility to respect the privacy of all Americans. It appears that privacy was breached and I expect a thorough review and a change in procedures as necessary to ensure the privacy of all passport files."

Vanished


John Glasgow, 45, chief financial officer of CDI Contractors LLC of Little Rock, has been missing since January 28th of this year. Glasgow' company had worked on the Clinton Library in Little Rock and some believe that the stress of restructuring the company alone was enough to make him run away. However, authorities still have no clues. On January 29th police found Glasgow's car in a State Park but there is no evidence of foul play. The only lead the police have managed to obtain is that of a Waffle House employee who said that a man matching Mr. Glasgow's description ordered breakfast there around the same time he disappeared. According to the employee the man ate his breakfast appearing untroubled and not at all worried about restructuring a company, audits, or money.
