There was a report this morning that a "tip" was called in and police responded to a neighhood of the Home Depot on Sunday night where a box truck was parked that had never been there before. The police apparently didn't follow up on it. Then Monday night came the shooting.

Another question I have is about the so called witness that gave false information. Could this be the scenario from all the shootings as a diversion to confuse the police? And, who was the witness at Home Depot? They interviewed one guy that night on the news who obviously had a mid-eastern accent.

Also, even though he gave olive skinned description to suspect which has now been discounted, others from the first shootings gave the same description. "Hispanic or Middle Eastern.

I hadn't heard about the Sunday night tip. It would be fruitful to know where the truck was supposed to have been parked.

At this stage it looks to me as if the snippets of "witness reports" we are informed of are worthless. The real witness reports are being kept under wraps.

I was unfortunately around for a completely different crime event many (30+) years ago (OK, I spent my teens in Laurel MD and was in the shopping center when George Wallace was shot, only about 50 feet away).

People get excited, memories are blurred, adrenaline is running, and there seriously is a lot of trauma and general chaos, people want to talk with someone to get the chaos out of their minds, and that would usually mean to reporters and the police.

I can understand why someone would pass along anything they see (or imagined they saw) as being "relevant", because you want to be as helpful as possible. But I cannot understand why anyone would fabricate a story from whole cloth. Honestly, it doesn't compute. It's almost perverse.

Just heard on FOX that the police now have in their possession a white box truck which had a shell casing inside. Coincidence??
