Thanks very much - When I scanned the article earlier,I thought that part of the article was just a rehash of what we already knew. Turns out they hid some new information at the bottom. Here's what it says:

Overnight, Prince George's County Police were busy in their search for the shooter of a teenage boy and seven others. 9 News was on the scene in Bowie overnight as detectives served a search warrant at an apartment not far from Monday's shooting.

Police seized seven weapons, including rifles and hand guns, but at this point, law enforcement sources tell 9 News they have nothing to conclusively link the man to the shootings.

Detectives and evidence technicians moved in with the search warrant at 12:30 Tuesday morning. For two hours they went through the man's ground floor apartment. The apartment is in Bowie, less than two miles
from Monday's shooting scene at Benjamin Tasker Middle school.

Law enforcement sources say police became aware of the man from a tip shortly after the shooting. There was enough information that detectives became very interested, very quickly. According to the sources, the man was brought in for questioning Sunday. Later police applied for, and received, the search warrant. As police worked through the early morning hours, it appeared his neighbors were mostly unaware of the search. Besides the weapons, police also removed a computer.

Thanks for posting this info. This article is very confusing to read and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this. If this is true why isn't this big news?! The search took place 24 hours ago. Why wasn't the press jumping all over this? Very strange.
