And did anyone else hear this?

I turned on Peter Jennings a while ago and the first report had the information that there is a "great deal of money" being talked about in the communication from the sniper. Does this not now take us on a different path or what?

Did I hear this correctly?

Terrorists often demanded money during plane hijackings as well as prisoner releases.

Well... if one is thinking the ME Terrorist view, then it's possible that the cell has not been funded for some time, due to the many 'money networks' that have been shut down in the last year, and is in need of cash...

So, this doesn't necessarily remove islamic Terrorists from the list of possible suspects, imho...

Why would the shooter need a voice changer? Would the police be able to recognize his voice, or is he afraid they might play the tape for the public in hopes that someone who works with him or knows him will turn him in?

And if he is asking for money, what is the threat? It can't be that another person will be shot; no doubt he would have shot again anyway. What has the LE on their toes? A bomb threat? Some threat against the local schools (hence provoking the extreme measure of closing 4 counties' worth)?

Money in exchange for no more murders? It seems to me, listening to these reporters, it might be something more massive. I don't know, I am still very confused about this.
