Sigh. Fox is now asking people who are listening to them on satellite radio and are caught in the traffic to call and tell them what it's like.
To: CobaltBlue
They may not know. In Spain, they often refer to the whole area as "el antiguo Yugoslavia," and I think the French use the same phrase (in French, of course). Probably the English source translated it directly from the French report.

I would be very nervous sitting in a car...

If it's Bosnia, they may not want to identify it.

Channel 4 is talking to resident of Apt Building who walks her dog in the park adjacent to the Bus. She says they are locked in their apts. Also she says the land drops off very quickly as you go back from the door of the bus, meaning the shooter would be shooting up, if he was in the park straight out from the bus door.
I hope they check the trees
(I think he climbs trees to gain elevation to shoot over traffic or as in this case)

I'd be slumped WAAAAAAY down if I was in a car stuck in those roadblocks.

hey, another non-TV person. Wish there were more like us.
Hope that you do not have a TV because of financial concerns but choose to avoid its repulsive content decidedly.

"At the request of police, WTOP is not reporting the exact location of the roadblocks."
I was shocked they were doing it in the first place! How stupid.

So what is the jerk saying to Moose? Honey, I'm home? Oh good grief, I can't believe this. How horrible, news knows nothing about condition of victim. I came here to see if anyone knows. BTW, good morning. :(
To: aristeides
I wouldn't worry about trying to get in to work right now. MSNBC saying all main arteries into DC shut down.

Bookmark this site and in a couple of days they will have the transcripts up for the 10/21/02 Nachman Show & Abrams Report. They gave step by step reports of how things went down since the Saturday night shooting. If their sources are wrong, then they are wrong but this is the only media that went into sensible detail about it.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
if 'three shots' is true, this is
not the guy we've been looking for, imho.
i'll eat the requisite crow if this turns out to be a domestic loony,
but our boy's been too regimented for too long to open up at short range and with multiple shots.
the virginia cops have it exactly right - until convinced otherwise, assume terrorist/s.
DC, during the best of times, is an insane place.
until the shooter is caught, copycats aren't a question of if, only of when ...
$0.02
keep on 'em folks ...

Just posted on Montgomery Co. school site: all schools will be open. Idiots!
To: laker_dad
Fox reports that the police are stopping all cars, because they have another vehicle they are looking for besides a white van. No descriptioin was given.
To: Letitring
The shooter, IMHO, seems to be keying off Moose. And this is his response to Moose, an "in your face" gesture. We're not dealing with a stable person, after all, because very few stable people decide to become serial killers.

Several school buses stopped in traffic.

Ted Williams on now. Time for another cup of coffee.
To: Miss Marple
Listening to WMAL, according to callers, they are checking EVERY vehicle.
