Don't get me wrong, I am pro LE.

The general consensus on the thread was that the law enforcement officials handled the situation both professionally and articulately.

I disagree, but that's just my opinion. When a senior law enforcement officer states he will not discuss the victims status, and then in the next breath, starts talking about the victims condition.....Well, you get the point.....

I can see two possible implications in your statement. Perhaps notification of kin is in order and it's as simple as that.

I agree, his change of mind appeared irratic. Possibly some information came to mind that he decided he could relay. I don't care for the young man from the Sheriff's Dept. He seems nice enough and willing to help, but I liked the crusty ol' tough chief at the very first briefing.

I was thinking all three shootings in Virginia were victims not living in Virginia. The Manassas victim lived in Maryland, the one from Pennsylvania, and now this out-of-town person. Who am I missing? The killer is a Virginian who zeroes on out-of-state tags?
