An observation from the 911 transcript:
In calls 2 & 3 the caller says Im up here on I-71," and Look, Im up on I-71 and I just shot a car."
It is common to refer to a location this way in parts of Southern Ohio and West Virginia. Most people would say "I'm on I-71." It could be a clue. Too bad the 911 operator didn't have more of a dialogue with the caller.

They obviously don't have the brightest bulbs in the bunch in these dispatch centers. Maybe it should be outsourced to India.

Which set of calls do you mean? The one I posted, or the other one? Someone called last Monday, then yesterday. The first set of calls, the operater said..."whatever, whatever...etc"
At least this operator handled this call better than the first one did. Of course my dog could have handled it better.

Allow the NEA to dumb down our kids and this is what we get. Today, 911 dispatchers. Tomorrow, brain surgeons.

Sorry, LisaMalia, no offense was intended . . . I'm sure you daughter is a good teacher. But somebody is producing these incompetent boobs. Thinking skills are supposed to be taught in the schools.

That's ok, I know there are some crummy teachers out there, as well as great ones.
There will always be dumb people...doesn't mean they have to hire them.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I mean, don't these dispatchers have to take some kind of a test in order to get hired?
I'm a clerical worker, and I've had to take tests to get a non government job, for goodness sake! And once they get the position, is their job performance not monitored in any way?
In my opinion, this is an outrage.

Man's Windshield May Have Been Hit By Highway Shooter
After a 911 caller last week claimed to be Columbus' highway sniper and said he had shot at a car on Interstate 71 that day, authorities said there were no reports of any shootings. But now a man has come forward to say something cracked his windshield that morning, January 26th, as he approached an overpass on I-71 in the heart of the area where the shootings have occurred.
The man,who doesn't want his name used, said he was driving to work about 9 a.m. and saw a man standing on the overpass seconds before he heard a "boom" and saw his windshield crack.
He said he called the highway shootings task force hotline twice before a deputy came to his home to take a report. He says he has heard nothing further and no one has inspected his car.
Task force spokesman Steve Martin declined to comment, saying he speaks to the media only at his weekly Friday news conference.

Unbelievable.
To: flutters; All
It took TWO CALLS to get them to come and inspect the car?
Maybe it's time to start flooding Gov. Taft's office with emails and phone calls, and also Mayor Colemans. They're going to fool around until someone gets hurt or killed again.
