LOL! They don't have TV copters there yet. Brian Wilson said he saw a few police copters fly over to that direction. None of the TV stations are really on this yet so it's still too early I reckon.

It is hard to be rational in an irrational world. I think I'm losing my rations.

Fox News is reporting that a person saw someone in a white box truck point a rifle at a school bus .. that the police are shutting dow the roads

I'm betting this is another false alarm or an idiot's attempt at a joke.

There's very little known yet, just showed some footage of what I think was drivers on the highway, stopped and out of their cars, most talking on cell phones. Said to be an white Isuzu cargo truck which pulled up to a bus and the driver of truck pointed the gun at the bus. Gaithersburg police confirming this, helicopters in area.

Ya know, having to wear waders in the office building was bad enough (well, I didn't, but I saw a pair on one of the maintenance guys), but I really thought this was going to be an off-day. But NOOOOoooooooo. I hope to heck that it's the sniper, but he really isn't that stupid, but who knows.

If, God forbid, this ends as badly for the Russians as 9/11 ended for us, I hope and pray that there is as big an outpouring of support in America for them now as there was in Russia for us then.

I had the same thought. In that event, let Freepers lead the way.

If it is a false alarm or some sick joke I hope the real killer(s) don't strike while LE's are occupied.

Right, the helicopters were police, not tv.

Police confirm they received a phone call 20 minutes ago about someone pointing rifle at school bus on I270, FOXNEWS said police couldn't confirm that it was a white box truck althought that is what FOX NEWS heard.

Brian Wilson/FOX had said the location of the truck that was stopped was right near them. So maybe the shot report is true.
