BREAKING / NBC News: A 39 year old white male has been positively identified through the use of facial recognition software as the shooter at a newspaper in Annapolis, authorities say.
A court authorized search of the suspect’s home is underway. Reported with @jonathan4ny
Just saw that on Drudge. Also read somewhere that the shooter seemed familiar with the offices. Disgruntled employee?
Wow, I guess all you have to do these days is post a picture on Facebook and it tags you right away.
Senior law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation told NBC News that the suspect, a white man wearing a black T-shirt and olive-green pants, had been identified through the use of facial recognition software. The sources said earlier that he had somehow obscured his fingerprints, making identification difficult.
A senior official said the suspect is 39 years old. Local authorities were preparing to execute a search warrant for the suspect’s home. The suspect’s name has not been released, but sources told NBC News that he is from Maryland.
Makes me wonder how many THOUSANDS of pictures the authorities have of MY face!
Most every stoplight has a camera pointed into the windshield.
