Let's keep a live commentary thread gonig again today.

[Peach]

Overnight news: The New York Post reports the shooter's 3 page letter left at the Ponderosa demands money in exchange for stopping the shootings. The shooting of schoolchildren is mentioned. A CNN report claims the shooter used voice-altering machine in yesterday's call to police.

my goodness peach are you up this early or have you not been to bed yet? I am a night owl myself.

[Peach]

Good morning all. What a way to start - a typo in the intro and the news this may be all about money. It's changed my mind (again) that this is domestic, but I'm sure some Freepers will be happy to "re-enlighten" me. Will check in later.

Who Is the Sniper? Blogs Tell All.

[Peach]

Hi, brigette. Just got up - going to try and catch a little more shut-eye - got about 3.5 hours.

[Las Vegas Dave]

Anyone know if the latest shooting is tied in to the other bullet fragments found in the other victims?

(Could be a copycat looking for ca$h?)

[stlnative]

Yes... it is tied to the past shootings. They also know they are talking to the real sniper as he disclosed things in his last letter that match things on the tarot card he left before.

[Peach]

They tied the forensics to the Ponderosa shooting yesterday. And now I must stop hitting Refresh - it's too addicting here.

[stlnative]

match = matched

Time for me to go to sleep for about 5 hours.

[timestax]

you are getting SLEEPY.....SLEEPY.........yawn....yawn.....

[stlnative]

The cash story may be made up by police to get the sniper to call them again or the sniper is just playing games with the police.

[stlnative]

When I wake up there will be at least 500 postings on this thread by 10am in the morning. G'Nite all... ;-)

[The Other Harry]

What a way to start - a typo in the intro...

Typos are always forgivien.

[Peach]

Thank yuu! As you can see, my attempt to get more than a few hours sleep hasn't worked. Tea is brewing - perhaps it will help with those pesky typossss.

[Lion's Cub]

Good morning, Peach. Thanks for the little review.

I've only been up about 90 min., but had a lot of trouble trying to get FR again. Hope somebody finds the bottleneck and can fix it today.

[Miss Marple]

Good morning, Peach. I hope the system functions better today than yesterday.

[Peach]

Good morning, Lion's Cub. You're welcome. Let's hope it's a quiet day in the Beltway area and that FR stays "alive".

[Peach]

Good morning, Miss Marple. It was the worst possible timing yesterday when the system went down. There had been so many Freepers with local news and scanner news who were posting interesting information.
