It does look promising, doesn't it? White van, ladder rack, gas station, arrest, phone booth, SWAT team....

It would be a mistake to assume there's only one involved.

"His name has been released but Fox guy can't find it yet."
Released to whom. . .not on any AP wires yet. . .suspect it has yet to be released. . .

The sniper can't be that dumb? He outsmarted the Moose for weeks.
To: Mo1
How I hope this is the shooter.

I live in Richmond, near the Henrico border; I hope Johnny Law gets his man this time.

Keep us posted please.......
To: RobFromGa
Phone call for Moose?
To: Sir Gawain
I agree, I have been saying I think it's terrorists plural since this thing started. Just a slip...
To: demlosers
NOT hard to do.

Al the plumber driving down the street in his plumbing truck makes an unfortunate choice:
"Dang my cell phone battery just died!"
"Hmm.. I'll pull over here and use that pay phone."
"Holy sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

... Fox reports SWAT team has surrounde phone booth in Richmond, VA ...
I can't imagine it would be too easy to mount a herioc last stand from the cover and concealment of a
phone booth.

With threads like these, I never know whether to hit the 'refresh' button or turn on the tube. The office-bound like me only have one option... so I will just BUMP the thread!
Awaiting the news conference...

I certainly hope so. Would explain the 10AM news conference. FOX saying timing is significant with the dragnet and the news conference. Also speculating the ballistics are back from the bullet. Saying Moose's demeaner was drastically different after getting the message yesterday from the sniper. Question becomes whether the note wanted to open communication with the police, or whether it is a warning.
Now saying the news conference is on hold for a few minutes.

This is just amazing if this is how this story ends.....It is a white van has some sort of rack on top (but I think it looks like luggage rack)
The van is right next to a phone booth at a gas station....
Very strange, God I hope this is the guy!
If not it's a complete lunatic who wanted in on the 15 minutes - but he would have had to "contaminated" the crime scene within seconds since police were all over it....
PMSNBC is reporting that the police said after reading the note left...."it will be a difficult time we will have to go through"....
(what does that mean unless they were just mimicing what the writer said and they were letting him think he was important and they were taking him seriously)

Just repeating what the Fox guy said, he didn't say anything else except he's searching frantically for it.
To: demlosers
He may have underestimated how fast phone calls can be traced.
To: RobFromGa
Could he have been stupid enough to call the police from a phone booth -- police who were expecting his call and were ready to trace it? Let's hope this is the guy and that he's not connected to Al Qaeda.

If this was that easy, the guy is a complete idiot.
