Sean's only saying they're talking to someone, impounded his van and that they'll keep us posted of further developments. Nothing we hadn't already heard.

Interesting re: tarot cards and sniping, I didn't know that.

Well, if it isn't this guy, I guess it would be safe to bet we can expect another shooting pretty soon.

"they found shells similar to .223"

Very strange statement. They are either Rem 223 or they are not. Is it similar to find a Rem 243 and call it such 'cause both share the number "3" in the headstamp?

It does sound like a good suspect to begin with.

I've also refueled twice. Jumped back into the truck to wait for the pump to finish, moving at warp speed.

You waited in the truck? I went inside and bought a newspaper.

I'll take any glimmer of hope. They may not want to be too specific regarding the weapon at this point.

Yes, I swiped the credit card, got the pump going and hauled back to the truck without having to go in. I was nervous about the line of sight from the door.

He's been called the "interactive sniper". Police announce kids at school are safe, he shoots a kid. Only day, he shoots at night. He is keying his targets on the news. If I was a local reporter doing a "standup" report, I'd be worried.

WMAL: Conflicting reports, they are saying that the FBI is talking to him. Still saying he is not a suspect. Montgomery County saying that this does not appear to be connected. They're not going to say anything until they know for sure that they have the shooter.

Thanks for the updates, although it hurts me to even think it's one of our own.

Haven't scrolled through all the threads - you probably know this. At 5:55 p.m. EST, Fox went to local reporting that an abandoned white box truck was found in Washington, D.C. that was being towed for examination by police. Had tags that had been tampered with, a recent paint job and a dent in the rear. Video showed truck - didn't look burned but it's possible it was gutted and burned inside.
