I was looking at this site, http://www.screenwriting.info/, for an example of what a shooting scripts looks like and it's requirements but couldn't find it. I remember seeing a clip at freshdv website about a script that has lines going down the page designating different shots of the same scene. I like to have a close view at a shooting script. I did search on google but only found explanation in Wikipedia and no example.

I definitely couldn't. My shooting scripts are just regular scripts with a lot more information that I'll need to know on the day (if I'm producing or directing) Kevin

I know that if I saw a script like that, I'd be looking for which kid did it.

Squiggly lines are off camera dialog or action.
I've never done this with a script. This is more for the sake of seeing what you've got coverage for and is particualrly of use to editors.
The marks are made by the script supervisor.

The example is not a shooting script. That is the "lined script" which is generated by the script supervisor of the production.
The lines on the script represent what the coverage was of the current setup. Red can mean the master shot. This basically shows the start and end of the setup at hand. Different colors are different setups. And each line is marked with the slate information. The squiggle represents dialogue coverage which occurred off camera. The straight line goes thorough dialogue that was on camera.
It is used so the editor knows what was covered.
A shooting script is a script that is ready to enter shooting. It is locked. Numbered. Camera direction is sometimes added in. Omitted scenes are noted as such. And any changes generate an "A" or "B" page. This is the final draft as it were.
Totally different things. The lined script is produced on the shooting script.
