We are very rural. If I had to guess, he/she took his/her own life.

Looks like one of the “victims” was the woman’s ex-husband. No doubt a murder-suicide. Divorce revenge.

I'm sure he is. Probably doesn't have any actionable intelligence on the shooter, so he's not just "shooting from the hip" by giving daily press conferences speculating about things he has no actual evidence or knowledge of.

I wasn't impugning your sheriff, just lampooning the miserable, negligent way that the press and local police handled the Beltway snipers situation back in '02. I should have used the "sarc" tag.

I don’t disagree.

That makes sense. Just saw there’s an eighth person dead. What seems strange is while they say there’s no active shooter on the loose, they don’t say whether the gunman is dead or in custody.

There may be quite a bit of evidence to process to determine what is what.

He’s an Andy Taylor type, if you are that old.

We had a spring snow last week which is real odd for our area. It was about 2 inches.

He put out a bulletin:

“Category 1 Spring Driving Warning: Anyone found riding lawn mowers or tilling gardens will not be arrested or towed but brought in for mental testing”

I grew up in a northern version of Mayberry- your guy sounds wonderful! Happy to know there’s some remaining authorities like that.

Absolutely. It’s only after something like this happens things fall into place. The AG in Ohio says apparently this guy is still unaccounted for.

At the very least, they could put out an all points bulletin to be on the lookout for angry-looking white male driving a white van with a ladder on top.

You're right! I bet that they could have somebody in custody in matter of minutes if they did that.

That could mean “The lawyers told us it wasn’t 100% but we think it is 95% sure”.

Ever consider this could be a murder-suicide situation?

Given the rural nature of the area, and with all the killings being in one family, I'd say you almost certainly right.

Thanks for the updates, all. It sounds like 8 victims (including children and grandchildren), 4 crime scenes and possibly an active shooter still loose?

The first thread about this got moved to “chat”

Heard anything else? Do you know the family (Rhoden)? Any chance it could be drug related?
