Two people have been taken into custody "following a police raid on a gas station in suburban Richmond, and they are "being questioned in regards to the sniper shootings" that have terrorized Washington, Hanover County Sheriff V. Stuart Cook said today."
Neither of the two have been charged with a crime as of this posting.
Update: They had nothing to do with the sniper attacks. From ABC News,
"However, late this afternoon it appeared authorities did not believe the men were linked to the note or the sniper shootings. The men — one a Mexican and the other a Guatemalan — were turned over to the Immigration and Naturalization Service. An INS spokesman told ABCNEWS both men are illegal aliens, and would be deported. The Henrico County, Va., Police Department said in a subsequent statement that no charges would be filed against the men."
