Local NBC News Channel | Oct 23, 02 | MSNBC

MSNBC reporting sniper related digging and searching of a building in Tacoma WA. FBI is involved. May be related to something the sniper told police

[antivenom]

WHY do I see a "unknown" sniper laughing his ass off in some livingrom back in Maryland....I see a ANOTHER red herring except now it is nation wide! YIKES !!!!

[FootBall]

I think Police using Media coverage to scare Sniper...if this has anything to do with him.

"My WAG on the lines: they are looking for things(?) that would fit between those lines, so are going to dig trenches along the lines and find all the things."

No, that's they way you do a grid search and lay things out on a map.

This what you are talking about?

Not sure where the Washington tie-in would be, other than Washington is only a few hours away

[WestCoastGal]

possibly a large trunk with something of interest in it. Bodies, weapons etc.

Good find on the previous Tacoma arrest

Fox News...grid layed out to go inch by inch in Washington yard...searching for small objects...Duplex in Washington being search with metal detectors...

"I know what you mean...I still think it's islamic terrorism though. "

Well I do too, but the pieces have been harder to fit together for the last couple of days.

SHEP SAYS: Immigrant community may be afraid to come forward because they don't want to be deported. I think they were going to give them citizenship for ratting on the sniper. BRIAN: Going meticulously through the backyard. Grid search of backyard. Still waiting for press conference. Do you suppose the cell that was busted out there ratted the sniper out? Remember October Lewis and the boys who were target shooting in a quarry?

[ConservativeMan55]

I think this is Muslim terrorists also.
These shootings coincided with other attacks around the world.

[PrivateIdaho]

A guy doing target practice in a busy neighborhood?

That was my thought... if this is a duplex it must be in a fairly well populated area. You wouldn't be able to fire off very many rounds without a visit from the men in blue.

"Let the media battle begin!"

You mean media idiocy don't you.....or misinformation?

[GovernmentShrinker]

Shell casings? In the tree? Don't the shell casings fall on the ground next to the shooter? Is there something wrong with my Browning Hi-Power? Or does the journalist dweeb just not know the difference between a bullet and a shell casing? That must be it. Phew! My Brownie's not sick after all.

[My Favorite Headache]

I just logged on...BINGO! I logged on to see how many people remember where Moose previously worked? LOL...and there you were 5 posts in writing what I was going to write.

[Arkinsaw]

Too big for a body, unless maybe it was Nadler.

[vikingchick]

Mapquest says 142 miles from Portland to Tacoma.

[WestCoastGal]

Any guesses on where the other warrants will be served. I'm guessing Portland and maybe Florida.

[kcvl]

Duplex...man in his 40's who works on cars with a maybe former military...not a suspect...on other side of duplex...family with children...all have been cooperative without a search warrant...

[ConservativeMan55]

What day did these shootings start?
Oct 7? A year from when we started bombing in Afghanistan?
Bin laden's taped warning?
Marines killed in Kuwait? Bombings in Bali?

This brings me back to Bo Dietl's theory.

Bo's a buffoon, entertaining as comic relief on Imus but preposterous as an expert. Regardless of his police background. He's been on Imus numerous times, has gained a certain amount of fame and was a cop, so PRESTO, he's an expert. Sheesh.
