They are awaiting family to get to Hospital first, before they release any info on the officers.

The police spokeswoman is really shaken.

The police spokeswoman is really shaken.

Lots of emotions and adrenelin floating around there right now.

[Velveeta]

It sounds to me as though they're still not sure if there was only one gunman.

At this time, this tragedy appears to have been committed by a crazed white guy.

However, MS13 is a very vicious organization with between 3500 to 5000 members/potential killers in N. Va and the DC area.

Below is a link to a site explaining the dangers of MS13, America's Most Dangerous Gang:

http://www.apfn.org/apfn/MS-13.htm

This is a little excerpt from this long and scary documentation on MS-13:

Cop Killers

And MS-13 violence is not restricted to civilians, rival gang members, and clique traitors; the gang will go after cops. Threats against police officers, known to gang members as “green light” notices, have increased so much in the past few years that the Virginia Gang Association has warned officers in Virginia and states to the north and south to be wary of MS-13 members.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s Jolly says he is aware of the threats against police officers in his community and in Virginia. Prince George’s County’s Norris says he’s heard them, too. “If you do something to them, their natural response is, ‘OK, I’m going to kill you,’” he says. “Or at least they talk like they will.”

Norris dismisses some of MS-13’s threats, but that doesn’t mean that officers should take all MS-13 threats lightly. The gang is extremely violent and it has attacked and will continue to attack anyone who gets in its way. That includes law enforcement officers.

So when it is no secret that MS 13 had threatened to kill cops in N Virginia and basically in the area of the senseless killings, it is not racism to raise the legit question of was this a vile act of MS 13.

I can remember during the sniper shooting in DC, many of us were warning about Black al Fuqra members in the first days. We caught a lot of flack at first and were called racists until the snipers were caught. They were not two white trash racists in a white van.

Somewhere between being a racist and a PC idiot is where most of us stand. I for one do not want to be either nor am I. We still have news organizations in N California who will describe a person being sought by the law as a white person. Often when arrested or shot, the so called white person was not white, just like the DC Snipers.

[R. Scott]

Yep – I don’t particularly care to be the model for the chalk outline.

Do you think they might have been wanting to take a police officer hostage? I would think they would "stalk" someone and take him/her by surprise during a period of vulnerability, but not during an assault on a sub-station where numerous officers may be present and with access to weapons other than their pistols.

Well said Grampa

[AmericanInTokyo]

probably some single, lone nutcase kid, ala trenchcoat mafia, who just wanted to go out in a blaze of 'glory' and take some officers with him. that's probably what it will most likely all amount to. he must have known his chances of survival were nil to pull off such a stunt as that at a police station. my, satan's been busy today, though...he welcomes one more ruined soul...

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks.

Saw a special over the weekend on CNN which was pretty well done. Neuvo Laredo is a war zone. You have massive shootouts practically every night and the police move around in platoons like a military operation. The night they featured, a group of paid assassins opened fire on the police and the police wiped all of them out by machine gun fire. Vehicles strewn about the streets with bullet holes all over them.
The sheriff and deputies on our side (can't remember the name of the town)walks around with a neck slung CAR 15 in 9mm. That's his duty weapon. He said every night the gunfire coming from over the border is incredible. He goes down every night to the Rio Grand to apprehend smugglers (people, drugs) who are heavily armed.

He is pleading for reenforcement from the federal government as the whole area is spiraling out of control. I really felt for the guy.

[Enterprise]

And that too would be no real surprise to me. Maybe someone saw one too many "blaze of glory" movies and decided to end it all.

watching the updates as they come in but the networks seem
to reporting conflicting info too...

our sons girlfriend is on her way home, lives in the area,
using the backroads of course. she said there was a baseball
game at her school, westfield ... across the rd from the
police station. those folks and any other athletes or kids
involved in afterschool activities were the ones locked down
til 6:30.

will keep watching for more info.

There were reports last night that the gunman killed may have been a suspect in an April 18 carjacking in Montgomery County. A former girlfriend of the man in question told 9 News that police had contacted her regarding the shooting.

At about 6:45 p.m. April 18, a 33-year-old man was driving his Toyota 4-Runner out of a business parking lot in the 9900 block of Blackwell Road in Rockville when he stopped to allow 18-year-old Michael William Kennedy to pass in front of his car.
