When police work doesn’t work, offer money. That’s what the FBI is doing after weeks of investigation have failed to find the person responsible for firing on the Marine museum, a Marine recruiting station (a Coast Guard recruiting station, too) and the Pentagon itself. The feds are offering “up to” $20,000 for information leading to the conviction of the triggerman.
“Evidence has confirmed that shots fired at each of the locations are linked to a single weapon,” the FBI says. “Investigators believe the shooter(s) may have engaged in behaviors that the public may have observed. The shooter(s) was out during the overnight and early morning hours and may have had to provide an explanation or excuse to justify the absence from home or work. The FBI believes that the shooter(s) has a familiarity with the Northern Virginia area from living or working here. The shooter(s) may have experienced a significant personal crisis within the past several months, such as the loss of job, divorce or financial hardship.”
