Choike, who reminded the public that the search is still on for whoever shot at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, The Pentagon, a U.S. Marine Corps recruiting facility in Fairfax County and a U.S. Coast Guard recruiting facility outside Potomac Mills mall in Woodbridge.
Those shootings took place in the overnight or early morning hours of Oct, 17, 19, 25, 26, and 29. No one was injured, but an FBI investigation has linked ammunition in each of the shootings to a single weapon.
