That’s the message from Quantico Marine Corps Base Commander Col. Daniel J. 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.
“If anyone in our military community has heard or knows something about the past shootings, then I encourage them to pick up the phone and call the FBI. Every piece of information is relevant and investigators will work diligently to tie all the pieces together to complete the puzzle in an effort to solve this case,” said Choike in a press release. “These shootings are a direct attack on our nation’s assets that honor the sacrifice, commitment, accomplishments of all Marines, as well as fellow service members. Each shot fired violates everything that we stand for and this community has a duty to stand up and reject these acts of violence by calling the appropriate authorities.”
During an FBI press conference last fall, authorities said whoever fired the shots most likely has a grievance toward the U.S. Marine Corps, or may have been wronged in his or her personal or professional life. Authorities asked that person to come forward, say they were willing to listen to “their side of the story.”
Following the shootings, a $20,000 reward was offered by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for the shootings.
