Breaking now....

[July 4th]

Reporter asking about reports going out over police radio about olive-skinned man.

Hmmmm.....I'm not saying anything....

[relee]

There's a dog sniffing the area on Rt 50. going West.

Chief refuses to comment.  his response was "I have not heard that lookout"

[HelgaHawk]

Ugh, I was referring to something that Rush mentioned on his program last week. Actually, it was quite funny.

[relee]

No evidence of a robbery.

[cajungirl]

I don't know,,DC is all a big blur to me, just the Beltway and the rest is a fog.

[11th_VA]

Police are saying that several witnesses saw the shooter

And nobody tackled him ???

[aristeides]

Victim white female. No evidence of robbery.

Chief refuses to comment

Yeah, it was: "I hadn't heard that."

". .well good for Michael's, perhaps."

Well I did say perhaps; and according to your list, it may well not be good.

Strange. . .

Thank you. A very well-informed post for somebody who is many miles away. I seen the sign, but didn't see a Michaels listed. Again, great post, no sarcasm, correcting my confusion. Appreciated more than you will ever know. I have a sister who lives on Harrison, down the road, but I have never been there.

I noticed the current police chief talking is 5000 times better than the idiot from Maryland.

They shouldn't be giving news conferences until they have something substantial......This is pathetic, these poor cops don't seem to have a clue.....

No pursuit of any vehicle......

Shooting took place at 915pm they said, a shopper putting their merchandise in her car. I worked for a Lowe's before in AZ and both they and the HD were open until 10pm and these were outside the busier metro area. Judging the time, even if this store closed at 9pm, she may have been one of the last shoppers out. We often had people leaving as late as 20 minutes after since we let people in until 10pm. Just fyi.
This is terrible and they are in pursuit of a van(CNN). Hope this is the guy or girl! I have friends and family in this area and find myself holding my breath everytime something like this happens there. Prayers for the families and prayers for safety for freepers and their families in the area.

Since 9/11 we nwwd to treat ALL incidents as Hostile terrorist events untill proven different !!!!

Regarding the person who discussed the 123, 456,etc. pattern, if the sniper follows this pattern, the next shooting will occur downtown Washington DC. The sides of all the triangles are equidistant and at similar angles. This puts the next shooting square downtown DC.

Slim woman, does not appear elderly but hard to tell with the plastic tarp over her head. Her body isn't slack, doesn't have typical older woman fat deposits.

I observe no concrete roof overhead. Thus, she was not shot in the area close to the store with the concrete roof.

Just my 2 cents.

[nicmarlo]

Chief also said: "he's not aware of any high speed pursuits."

[BuddhaBoy]

I am starting to get the impression that these press conferences are for telling people what they DONT know.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, that is the end of my know-nothing" press conference, I just want to remind you that I am here to tell you, that I really dont know anything"

"Next Question?"

Why do they do this?
