This guy is as good as gone with BCPD leading any investigation.

I get Baltimore local news, they say that choppers are out looking for the truck. This occurred at 9:00 AM, that’s was about 3 hours ago. I’m surprised they haven’t reported to see the truck yet.

Just because they may make money on the gas doesn’t mean it isn’t terrorist related. Maybe. Maybe not.
