Law enforcement provided the public with tips on how to be a good witness. One specifically mentioned not speaking to anyone (including the media) so as not to taint memory. If the news is actively seeking out witnesses and questioning them, couldn't they be charged for interfering with an investigation?

CNN has the following on its crawl: "Report 1:...suspect is hispanic, aproximately 23 years old."
Yes, I just read the same thing; this is unbelievable! I'm just not persuaded this is the sniper.
To: LisaFab
They are probably linking it to this story in the New York Post
Sniper Imitator. He looks like he could be Hipanic and he is from Virginia

CNN just said it was a 24 yo Mexican nativeHmmmm....A quasi-legal, trans-border visitor, perhaps?

CNN.....24 year old Mexican in custody..
These guys might not have anything to do with the sniper shootings.....they might have been trying to get money..
The note found at the Poderosa contained a number to the pay phone.....they wanted money..

Apology accepted...let's hope this unGodly chapter in our history comes to a quick end no matter who the perps turn out to be.
I both hope and fear that this is AQ - a pretty weird mix of emotions.

If I had witnessed something connected with this, I'd be pretty careful about getting my name and face on the news.

"Yes, I just read the same thing; this is unbelievable! I'm just not persuaded this is the sniper."They probably have figured out that the guy was arrested by mistake so they are now trying to setup a story on how minorities are victimized in this country.
To: LisaFab
I feel like Robert Byrd has been reporting this story, incoherency-wise. Pretty, Pretty, Pretty, Hispanic copy cats and no snipers....

Right. I'm looking at the article in the Post right now. But that was in reference to the double-shooting yesterday in the Bronx.
The CNN thing was about today's arrest IMHO.

Give ya 1000:1 that the 24 year old hispanic is a "false report".

I think these 'hispanics' if that's what they turn out to be are nothing more than errand boys for AQ if indeed they are connected to these killings.

Henrico/Hanover police. There are 2 people in custody. Cooke (head of Hanover Sherriff's department) will not confirm that they are suspects. They are being questioned.
The bullet from the victim is a match with the other shootings.
