WTOP -- The shooting has prompted a widespread police dragnet that has brought traffic to a near standstill. The dragnet extends into Anne Arundel and Howard counties.

Police are changing the locations of roadblocks set up around the region. At the request of police, WTOP is not reporting the exact location of the roadblocks.

Officers dressed in SWAT gear are stopping every vehicle on a major feeder road in the area, reports WTOP's Steve Eldridge whose vehicle was stopped numerous times. Even the smaller roads are impacted by road blocks or traffic trying to divert itself around.

Eldridge reports the drivers he's seen have not hesitated to let police search their vehicles and their trunks.

One commuter tells WTOP it took him three hours to get to work. Normally it would take him 45 minutes.

I bet all those zoning boards insisting on "green zone buffers" border all development might just want to plan on scrapping those zoning laws!

This will come to an interesting conclusion soon. All the leaves should be off the trees/vegitation soon. Nowhere near the amount of cover. The shooter will have to rely on other types of cover.Maybe they will start aerial application of agent orange this spring if they have not caught him by then.

I was watching Ch 7 (ABC affiliate WJLA) this morning... they said, "We have been asked not to disclose the location of any of the roadblocks."

flipped to channel 9 (CBS / WUSA)... "Cell phone callers are reporting roadblocks at various locations, including..." (they name some locations)... While showing the roadblock on the Am Leg Bridge!!!

WUSA is the PITTS!
