Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 19, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

[Peach]

To avoid multiple vanity threads regarding any news from press conferences, let's keep a live commentary thread going again today.

[mystery-ak]

cnn is reporting 8:30...8:45

[tomkat]

cnn just said that montgomery cty (md) has just now shut down some part of wisconsin ave outside DC to search cars re this shooting.

friggin brilliant, as the guy could already be in Philly if he took his shot at 8 ...

your tax dollars hard at work ...

[valleygal]

Said on the other thread that a helicopter saw a white van with ladder rack speeding away from area. Who knows anymore?

I saw something on the bottom of the screen on FOX today that said there are over 60,000 astro vans registered in MD, DC and VA.

I know, we are all feeling that way, I think

[mystery-ak]

cnn... man traveling through with a female in parking lot...shot in abdomen..

[spectre]

Now, they are saying he was with a female traveling companion, stopped at the Ponderosa Steak house, walked across the parking lot and got shot in the abdomen area..

sw

[mystery-ak]

anything on the surveillance plane?

[OReilly]

will not say where the wound is

I heard in the back... but can't remember who said it. Valleygal.. that seems to be the best rule I have heard yet... if the media says he has never shot on the weekend, look for him to prove that wrong. Or any other pithy thing the media might come up with!

[valleygal]

Thanks, bc. The family have taken all the TV sets hostage.

[mystery-ak]

you need another tv...

[justautoglass]

At this point I am really starting to get scared.Stay safe everyone

[valleygal]

I know, now the pattern theories are shot to heck.

[mystery-ak]

he must of been out scouting for 5 days.

[valleygal]

LOL.I keep threatening to get rid of the ones we have!

But it would be nice to have a little one I could have in the kitchen next to the computer, just for moi, for breaking news anyway.

[tomkat]

caution is warranted, as it should be 24/7/365, snipers or no.

panic lets the cowardly bastards win.

[bcoffey]

Oh for the days when we had a live video feed from Fox on the net!

[OReilly]

How many shootins is it now?

[tomkat]

that other thread's movin' way too fast for an old guy like me to keep up with ...

[justautoglass]

I have a police scanner> The police are saying the cell phone towers are jammed. They also sound very disorganized. They just don't have enough man power

[mystery-ak]

13...if you count Sept 14th

[bcoffey]

MSNBC - Press conference shortly... gonnna go upstairs to watch for awhile... back later.
