Fox reports SWAT team has surrounde phone booth in Richmond, VA

If the guy just bought the van, there is a good chance the stickers were just left by the previous owner...

[slimer]

Could be that it was a team and one of them has been captured or has turned himself in. The other is still on the loose and this is who Moose is trying to communicate wiff.

[ClancyJ]

Hey, you are not the most important person involved in this situation. They are not doing all to give you information - they are working to stop the sniper and resolve this.

The press conference is NOT to inform the public but to communicate with the shooter.

[Think free or die]

"What was that picture of a guy in an ambulance that was flashed briefly (accidently?) on Fox. Anyone see that?"

I saw him; wondered who he was. Looked younger than the 30's-40's estimate I'm hearing on MSNBC. He looked rather pale with blemished skin.

[Weimdog]

Agreed, Fox had a pretty good shot of the back of the van window. Temp tag and MEXICO flag in back window. Another sticker next to the flag, didn't make it out.

I see enough Mexico stickers here in Southern California to know the difference.

Although, if it was a newly purchased van, the stickers could be from previous owner.

If this isnt him, then I would expect the sniper to pop off another victim just to show the cops that hes still on the loose.

Chief Moose didnt look too happy unless this isnt over yet

[ladyinred]

Maybe so huh? MSNBC still saying guy in custody, Fox saying no? Strange stuff! The message from Moose sure was cryptic and to another suspect or something.

[Mo1]

Could this get ANY crazier?

This is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

[Axenolith]

How stupid can he be. Hasn't he heard of caller ID?

He might have thought *67 would work for disableing it, but the phone co and LEO's can disable it...

[CaptainK]

Maybe last night's message was "I'll deliver the truck to you but I won't be driving"

[twntaipan]

You do? Excellent! Please translate what I just heard.

[rintense]

The French flag also has three vertical stripes, as does the flag of Ireland.

[AmericanInTokyo]

....might well be your standard asshole, much like that jerk that gave false information at the Home Depot Falls Church just for fun. So much is unclear.

Remember the three big mouth Islamic students in Georgia talking big just to have fun... and then it exploded into a complete swat standoff? Some jerk might have been trying to have fun. There are enough of those in America unfortunately.

[ladyinred]

That could be true too! Where is Miss Marple when we need her? Is she here? :-)

[SaveTheChief]

Fox News is going crazy about the fact that it is a white van with a ladder rack/roof rack on top. Something is not right about this because what they are showing is a Plymouth van with a LUGGAGE RACK on top, not a Chevy Astro Van with a ladder rack on top as has been reported numerous times.

I am hesitant to believe they have the sniper(s) or anyone related to the sniper(s), but obviously they have towed the van and arrested a suspect. I guess we shall see.
