The day after last year’s Boston Marathon tragedy, a team of well-coordinated snipers attacked a PG&E Corp’s Metcalf substation located near Silicon Valley in California. For 19 minutes, they fired strategically-placed shots that ended in 17 major transformers becoming non-functional. During that time they also cut underground cables in a vault of a local Internet service provider, wiping out the internet for many AT&T customers. Operating under the cover of night, the team of snipers slipped away without leaving anything but shell casings and position markers, one minute before police arrived on the scene.

 

 

It looks like this didn't make it past the local news level when it happened, and it is just not making it's way into national awareness. Practice? A Threat? I have no idea what the motive could have been.

Glenn Beck did a story on it. I wonder if it was practice for something much bigger.

I heard it on NPR outta Knox last night. They kinda skew the news to fit their agenda, so I didn't pay it much mind.

If by sniper you mean, using a 22 to open fire at close range, sure...  it was snipers ;)
