WUSA-TV 9 News in Washington, D.C. reported in its 11 p.m. broadcast that police found a tarot card and a note to police at the scene of yesterday's sniper shooting of a 13 year old boy at Tasker Middle School in Bowie, Md.

The tarot card was the 'Death' card. The message said, 'Dear policemen, I am God."

Do we know anymore now from the MSNBC reporter?

Hi Kim.....Sounds good to me. Put me on your ping list please.

I also thought maybe the days he didn't shoot happened because someone unknowingly walked into his plan and messed it up, or something spooked him from his plan. To spend more time perfecting the mission he had it as plan A shoot or Plan B being scrap the mission.

...which there would be more people milling around on a weekend and lunch hour to see him and so those days/times would be more dangerous for him to be caught by a passerby.

According to a history of Tarot cards, 'The Death Skeleton' comes to all: child, father, mother, king and priest.'

They also announced a few days ago that politicians should not make any outside press conferences if they did not have too. Maybe this relates to the card and the "King".

George W and Cheney better keep their heads down until they catch him.

It could after all be a terrorist and all these other people are just fodder to get to the real target and then the Sniper will just disappear and everyone will be looking for a serial killer.

Be careful out there.

...even though they 'matched' the bullets.

Lots of rifles can fire those caliber bullets. And after impacting the target, identifying the remains of the bullet as coming from a specific weapon, is often impossible.

It's possible the nutcase personally knew and wanted to kill one of the victims for some reason. The killing of the others, and the tarot card, may be camouflage.

You posted this before the snipers were caught. Now it seems that you may have came incredibly close to the truth. We'll see if the theory that Mohhammed actually had his sights on his ex-wife pans out.
