If this is a fluke, this should show them they do not need to be transporting the children on school buses at this time.

I believe one of the districts there are not having the school buses running.

My stomach is doing flipflops and I am all the way in NYC at my cubie. I feel like screaming!!! I hope the bus driver had the good sense to tell the kids to hit the floor!!!

Traffic report on wtop now reports slowdown on 270, traffic stop on 270 south but pulled off highway, no mention of sniper just a regular traffic report. Is the traffic reporter clueless?

Could have been recorded a few minutes before this happened.

I'm hearing impaired so I can't listen to this. Anyone care to summarize what's going on. The cable news still not really on this story. Thanks!!

They may have been asked to sit on it.

In Moscow, the hostage-takers have released all moslems and children from the audience. It's thought to be Chechnyans, per Fox.

I have been out and did not want to get too involved today. I figured my name would come up and see that it has.

Yea, I felt like an 8 yr. old after I posted. I was on the phone while typing. I guess I was so excited because my thinking was, maybe this could be it and it will end soon.

After I got all the information, I was very thankful I had not said anymore and I'm very sorry I said anything in the first place. Ther are some very freaked out people involved.

I have gained new respect after this for Chief Moose. I understand why he can't say much and people are scared to call stuff in to the tiplines.

I have said things about my sister before but not this sister.
I do have a sis who works for the police but she's a secretary and has nothing to do with this case. She knows less about all of this than I do (the news coverage).:)

That said, I do understand the loose lips thing. Which is why I can only ask that you be in prayer for the people involved if this info is accurate. They are just scared, that's all. If this doesn't pan out, I will be able to share just a little bit about this.

There are others on this site that have posted way more about their suspicions of people and discussed it in detail. They are even trying to actively track them down. So compared to that, my post last night, while very excited, was not very informational.

For those of you still mad at me, please give me a break.:)
I was here for almost 9 hours yesterday, absolutely absorbed in this and to get a phone call such as I did was a little freaky.

Anyway, thanks. And to those who think I wasn't, I will try to be more careful.
