..how are they going to catch this guy?
To: bcoffey
LOL..echo..echo..echo..ok folks, he picked this site because he thought it was sufficiently distant from other locations to be safe.
Next I fear will be far North or North and East for same reasons..
To: mystery-ak
Ashland County officer was first to arrive on scene, about 2.5 minutes after incident...per sheriff..
To: Merovingian
about 2.5 minutes after incident...per sheriff I don't see how they can get better than that.

No, me neither..But the guy is 2.5 minutes away, at least well in his car and down the road... how much can the responding cop achieve other than assist in waiting for the ambo???
To: OReilly
I think 2.5 minutes is fast but this guy is long gone before the LE can deploy the dragnet. I Have a scanner and live 30 miles from the scene. Police seemed to be unorganized and are having communication problems. I heard LE say cell phones were down,
To: Merovingian
Stable but serious condition, still in surgery...
To: justautoglass
" I heard LE say cell phones were down,"I heard that mentioned in the Falls Church shooting. Do you suppose the authorities are shutting them off as part of the plan?

FOX saying wife best witness so far. Victim knew he was shot because he told his wife so. Was conscious when police et al arrived.
To: bcoffey
have not found "projectile" or casings. But they'd need floodlights and dogs in that wooded area. They think the bullet is still in the victim.
To: bcoffey
I don't think so LE said my phone is down because all the people in traffic are using there phones. He was asked to call dispatch on phone
To: bcoffey
Will probably have to wait for a day time search. John Gibson saying this guy is responding to what media says..."no weekend shootings" and here we are.
To: justautoglass
I think 2.5 minutes is fast but this guy is long gone before the LE can deploy the dragnet. I Have a scanner and live 30 miles from the scene. Police seemed to be unorganized and are having communication problems. I heard LE say cell phones were down, Thanks, that is key... and BTW the only way we are going to find out the real story. I keep saying for days now, we are going to need the National Guard in helo's and on runway alert to get enough guys with rifles to the exits. OR maybe the minutemen like in Concord Mass!
