"He looked in my direction, and then he turned
and walked away. ... He coolly, methodically,

sped away before police reached the si ene.
Ijiiry Bright. 2H. of Washington. DC. was rid
ing in a public transit bus heading the opposite
direction when he heard multiple shots ring out
"He was just shooting at everything. He looked
like he had an attitude. He looked like he wanted
to kill somebody. He shot everywhere." Bright
said.
Barrett Burka. a physician who lives near the
CIA grounds, said he and his wife were stopped
at the traffic light and were within 15 feet of the
shooting.
"He had the rifle up on his right shoulder and
he was shooting at the cars,” Burka said. "When I
first saw him, he was sort of running around and I
saw him run up to the windshield of the lead au
tomobile and shoot into the windshield Then he
ran from that and to the second car. That's the
last thing I saw as I pulled away It was a purely
random shooting."
