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

[Miss Marple]

I know. Well, I got a lot of housework done yesterday.

Is the CNN story accurate? What about the 2 Hispanics that are being deported? Am I to understand that they really had nothing at all to do with this?

Therefore, a cash demand is actually from the sniper?

Well, now I am back to a domestic source.

Time for another cup of coffee!

[wewillnotfail]

Just wanted to thank you for doing this!

[Peach]

Yes, when the system went down it was a perfect excuse to actually do some housework. BTW, we really need to post those "helpful hints" for housework that fools hubby after a breaking news day spent cruising FR.

Fox Reporting - police say another shooting in Montgomery County - at a bus station on Connecticut Avenue - one shot only.

This POS needs to be taken out ..

[Peach]

I'm back to a domestic source, too, and these comments will get lost in the newest breaking news but here goes. It seems inconceivable that two illegals would be picked up (and subsequently deported immediately!) at the very phone booth feds were staking out, who also happened to be driving a similar white van with a rack on top. What are the odds of that? I'm not into conspiracy here, but think the shooter does have domestic help and perhaps enlisted these two in order to see what the response would be at that phone booth.

CNN says junction of Grand Prix Road and Conn. Road.
CNN has vidoe. It looks like a bus stop, not station.

[Mo1]

I'm back to a domestic source

I agree .. and I don't think money has anything to do with it

[Peach]

6:00 a.m. shooting, one shot, bus stop, police on scene. Don't know if anyone was hit. No word yet.

[Peach]

CNN reporting - victim down - being moved to medical help now.

[Peach]

[stlnative]

still awake due to the new shooting - but hubby is up now and has control of the remote :-( please keep me updated for the next 40 mins until he goes to work... thanks "peach" for all you do!

Morning All, Had a thought last night re: the Van and 2 guys taken into custody.

That they were set up by the sniper. Along with the Cops. My thought was that the 2 "Hispanics" were seen using the phone by our guy a couple of times using the phone. They were probably just migrant workers calling in to find out where their next job was to be.

So the sniper used them to flush out the cops.

Looks like if that was his intention, he did a great job of predicting the cops response.

Seems like the Cops keep underestimating...
