(Miami-Dade) 4 Officers Shot, Suspect (ID'd as Shawn LaBeet) Killed

CBS4 Miami ^ | 09/13/07 | CBS

Fox reported he had purchased 3 AK 47s recently.

Wow...those ATF Form 4s sure are coming back quick. I wonder where he got the $55,000.00 for x3 AK 47s?

[Weight of Glory]

So I’m surmising that the woman who gave this intentionally misleading info knew what she was doing. There must have been some synchronization between her and LeBeet because the I.D. was found near his car at original crime scene while she kept up the false front with police. In other words, he and she colluded. For what purpose?

Absolutely! Also, Oct. 2006?! that is interesting.

[DCBryan1]

Whoops...forgot to turn off /sarcasm tag.

the Blackhawk had a gold fed seal on it, like either Homeland Security, or FBI...

Welcome to Free Republic.

Federal involvement was reported early.

Given the accuracy of reporting to date, it, and everything else, remains a possibility.

[joebuck]

"does anyone know if there are any feds there?"

Earlier the Miami media said yes. But I'm taking everything with a grain of salt at this point.

Looking out from my window I see a huge cloud of white smoke coming from Bainbridge Island (near the Agate Pass Bridge)... wonder what’s going on there now.

[Everybody in Miami is arab looking, and they all speak spanish.]

I thought I heard first reports (on FOX) saying the perp was a “white male latino”. Hmmm. Some contrast to the facts.

I did it this way --just to get a general idea:

That is a good bit of scratch for a 25 year old. Of course if he got Kevin’s ID maybe he snagged his credit card too. No, that can’t be right. If the ID was stolen in Oct. 06 then surely Kevin would have cancelled the credit card before he could buy the AK’s. Stranger and stranger.

Three more unconnected sources reporting that mean this was planned, or at least conceived as a possibility almost a year ago.

In any event, the perp (hate to say bad guy since we are not sure of gender) has broken contact, and there are currently no leads being reported.

I’m heading out for some supper. See you guys and gals later on. :0)

[joebuck]

I’m afraid if I go eat now I’ll get back to find they’ve taken Brittany Spears into custody.

[Weight of Glory]

Thanks, I missed that.

[Weight of Glory]

But I’m taking everything with a grain of salt at this point.

Good call.

[Weight of Glory]

What is really strange is that, with all that seems to have been planned by this guy, we still don’t know what the end game is. Surely it wasn’t to shoot at police.

[Fawn]

Time for the tin foil hats.

[RDTF]

I’m not even convinced it was planned. He may be part of a gang that is experienced in throwing off the cops.

[Weight of Glory]

OK. just saw the footage of all involved in the man hunt, and...WOW! There are hundreds on this local state and federal. There is a level of desperation in trying to get this guy that I have not seen with the search for other cop killers. Stranger and stranger.
