Yep. Can tell you from living in the DC Metro area at the time, it was kind of scary really. We even had to not run on the track during gym one day because they were worried he’d see students on a track as sitting ducks. I was happy- I cant’ run fast.

At the time of the Beltway Sniper, I lived in Herndon and worked in downtown DC. I never changed my behavior one iota.

My mom, up in Maine, couldn’t understand why I wasn’t taking precautions.

I told her that there were literally hundreds (if not thousands) of miles of roads in the greater DC area. If I was so unfortunate as to draw the “short straw” where our paths intersected at that precise time I guess I would have been proven wrong (or, perhaps, stupid), but there was no way I was going to live in abject fear of what was likely to be a million-to-one chance of that happening.
