If this does turn out to be terrorism I think a lot of folks are going to be DARN MAD because these guys did not warn us!! Just like they didn't warn us about the threat to the children until they were pressed by the media.

Any Washington folks out there?? Were there any murders by snipers there in the past??

FYI - Moose was Chief of Police of Portland, Oregon previously.

I hope the sniper doesn't have plans on "digging" up my winter garden...SHEEESHHH!!!!!

I though it was wierd the sniper had the pin number as well. Anyone knows a card number can be generated now but not the pin number!

[grimalkin]

They said no bodies but what the heck are they laying out those lines for?? Maybe they are looking for buried weapons. And, maybe we were right about the international terror angle.

You can see the parallel lines in this photo. Strange.

"What stolen credit card?"

The newest information is that the sniper wanted the $10 million dollars transferred to a stolen credit card.

Really.

What the ??? This is really weird. I just hope if one of whatever it is they are digging up is here in Phoenix, they don't forget about coming out here and digging it up too.

Keep us updated...

I trust the police to solve the case, and they don't have to tell us everything.

[antivenom]

UNLESS they threatened at GUNPOINT....tell me your *&%^%$#@! PIN number! That could do it!!!!!

Those lines are a grid so they can search the area with the metal detector and methodically know what areas they have covered.

Sniper(s)/terrorists wanted the 10 million to be deposited to a stolen credit card

Local Media: Not quite sure what the connection is. Question by reporterette: To assure the public of their safety in Tacoma, what can you tell us. Is there someone under arrest here? NO. Do you expect that someone here will be under arrest here? NO. The answer again is NO. They aren't looking for a person or in Western Washington. Certainly no one believes the sniper is here in Western Washington. Taking a wedge to a tree stump. Looking for a bullet casing? Reasonable? Seems reasonable. TEN DEATHS NOW. If a bullet matches but what explains the big stuff they dug up?

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE PHOTOS!!!

Unsolved murders by the sniper in the past?

"Here I go again - I had just said earlier today that I was back to being convinced it WASN'T terrorism. "

Yeah I was pretty firm in my opnion that this was ME terrorism until the last shooting. Then I was starting to sway the other way.

Now, I don't know what to think.

[md2576]

yeah, it's 1365. or 4687 or any other false number! Doubt it!
