French Shootings.

[Danthus]

Because cars don't get randomly riddled with bullets in the Apls?

And I doubt a professional hit would happen when all of the intended targets family are in the same car and a bloke on a bike is nearby.

Because you've played too much Hitman?

It seems unlikely they were randomly targeted.

I haven't said it was random, I am questioning the assumption that this was some kind of professionally hitman.

All shot in the head. That is a calculated killer, rather than a random shooting spree. The cyclist who got shot must have been a witness.

Just my thoughts.

Someone killed them, it seems unlikely they were random killings, and that the killers were therefore paid to kill them... a contract killing. If you get paid to kill someone you are a professional hitman, whether you are any good or not is another matter.

That is some leap you have made there!

 

[Vulcan]

So, you think the people who killed them weren't paid?

I don't know.

I've actually just landed a job where he works! By the sounds of it, likely to be in his department too.

Strange times. Had numerous texts on the subject from people I know.

 

[Hades]

The eldest daughter goes to my childrens school. Their house is only a couple of roads away from me and every time my wife takes the kids to school she gets a camera put in her face and asked if she knew the family. RIP

Well the killers are not friggin interns are they! When ask you someone to "professionally" kill someone, you pay them!

In a slightly bizarre turn of events, a bomb disposal team have turned up at the al-Hilli home.

Getting weirder.

 

[Pestilence]

Sounds like it's all threatening to become a Chris Ryan/Tom Clancy novel at any moment!

 

[Draeger]

Breaking news reports neighbours being evacuated from around the area of the family house. Sky News reporting it so not sure if its getting blown out of proportion or not.

On the BBC website also.

Maj Chris Hunter, a former British Army bomb disposal expert, told the BBC that police may have found an improvised explosive device (IED) hidden or disguised in the home.

For all we know he could have been a terrorist planning an attack on Israel, they found out about it and had him taken out, authorities may have realised this and decided to err on the side of caution re: the house.

One of a million possible scenarios.

Perhaps the house could have been rigged up to explode upon their return if the alps job had failed.


Another possible scenario.

He's a darkie and thus must be packin explosives.

(Daily mail scenario)

Just my thoughts.

2 shots to the head too, "double tap", just like it in the movies!

"I find it bizarre that the British people were up there (at the car park).

"There is not much up there apart from a few chalets. I just wonder what they were doing up there.

"It is not the sort of place that families with young children or older people would go to unless you know the area."

Strange, very strange.

 

[mp3duck]

Strange, very strange.

I parents drove in the same area just the other day. Lovely mountain roads, and amazing scenery. No reason why there would not be any British people there...
