Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002
Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

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.

I have had the weirdest....weirdness in my mind since I heard this. This house in on Proctor Street, about 2 miles from the house where I grew up -- the house my mom still lives in.

Strange, strange, strange.

I don't know what to think.

How hard was that for Shep to get out the guy was Hispanic born in this country? You'd think it was a foreign language he was trying to speak.

I can't remember either, but there are a number of Indian tribes in Mexico.

Reporter on the scene from King 5 in Tacoma says they took out stump, a large pile of wood, several bags of trash/debris and some rose bushes

Sure gives a new meaning to the HGTV show Surprise Gardener....

ROSE bushes? I'm lost. I understand the stump, but the roses? I've got to: Forgive me: War of the Roses?

OK here's the deal people

Chris Whitcomb on MSNBC. This is not terrorism. There's a couple guys involved and we'll know all about it shortly. He knows more but can't say now.

I can hardly wait for the aerial coverage of the U-Haul with the stump in it as it makes its way across the country... no that is going to be riveting...
