Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

[Slip18]

Thanks. I had to feed my dogs. Missed it.

[Freedom2specul8]

If so, this could get "thorny"...!

[snippy_about_it]

ok, shep now saying he made a mistake, he meant American, not native american as in people before we got here. Hispanic who served at fort lewis.

[TexKat]

Who wudda thunk it?

Did you mean who wudda trumk it?

[HairOfTheDog]

Now wow.... Don't be hasty.... I don't think it was Treebeard...

But no one has seen the Entwives for some time!

[looney tune]

Oh No! Not the rose bushes!

[DugwayDuke]

Shep now crawdading to make it clear it was an "American" of hispanic descent. Apologizing that he might have said Native American.

[mystery-ak]

How big is this stump...does it have to pay for two seats!

[tubebender]

he shows the reporters up to be the ignorant asses they are).

I saw it and he was hot under the collar.

[Kip Lange]

Cheers to the media for totally screwing up the inflection on "native American" (because nobody will say "Injun" anymore :p) Whoa, they blew it on THAT one...

[Katya]

wasn't Geronimo part Mexican?....could be totally wrong, but I recall some famous Indian that was part Mexican indian.

[Letitring]

Whitcomb: "when this story comes out people will be stunned." More than one suspect involved...(MSNBC)

[poppyseed]

OMG! It was Treebeard all along! Who wudda thunk it?

Having just finished up the last of the trilogy today, I have to say this made me snort drink. Laughing out loud over here!

[bcoffey]

"You'll have to share after all this breaking news.:)"

Be sure to remind me. After all, my body thinks it is still in MDT, and I'm in EDT, so I can stay up till 2 am and not know it! LOL

More local lore: Tacoma's most famous son was Ted Bundy.

[spectre]

Shep must read FR..he corrected himself and said the word NATIVE shouldn't have been put in front of American extraction..

Hi Shep!

Is that the start of your new honey do list! It must be getting longer by the minute with the hours you're logging here. I just keep adding my chores to my husband's honey do list and he's been doing it!

[Yaelle]

So they know WHO he is now -- they just don't know WHERE he is. And what is going on in that shooter's mind about now? He is going to get caught, he is not going to pass GO, and he is not going to collect his $10 mill. What is he going to do tonight?
