FWIW, ABC national radio news is reporting the sniper may be using a bicycle to get away theory. It seems the media is willing to report just about anything to fill air-time and/or newsprint.

Last week a lawyer I know told me that a friend of his is investigating the Fairfax Home Depot shooting.

The husband of the woman saw a man in a vehicle staring at them. He turned to his wife, and said something like, "I wonder what that guy is doing?", turned back, and saw the man shoot his wife from 30-40 yards away.

No description of what the man looked like or the vehicle. I have been waiting for the police to say something about it, and I find it incredible that they have not.

I disagree with the policy of not giving out information about the investigation.

"It seems the media is willing to report just about anything to fill air-time and/or newsprint."

Ok. That did it...

(In my best OReilly voice)
Why doesn't the media just SHUT UP?

It's one thing to assist in the investigation by getting necessary info out to the public. It's another thing to dig and maneuvre, spew out unverified "facts" only to retract, sit around w/ "experts" and speculate the days away.
And to try to scoop other channels, etc. by broadcasting info that HELPS this monster is absolutely the worst thing of all!

We may need to know to look out for a white box truck (laughable as that is).
We may need to know he's basic MO, etc. to alert the people in the area.
These are things the sniper already knows and can't gain advantage from.
BUT to broadcast that they're bringing in spyplanes, what those planes are capable of detecting, what area it will be covering, how long it is able to stay up and flying, what range capacity it has???

To broadcast what procedure the local authorities will most likely utilize and how fast they may respond??

This is not something to take lightly. They are playing with people's lives. It is disgraceful and , imo, bordering on criminal.
I'm emailing this to them and refusing to tune in except to the top and bottom of the hour updates (big deal as *that* will be ...NOT!)

This may be an unpopular view, but I'd rather have lives saved by keeping this monster in the dark, then be fed any and everything just to have something new to talk about.
