Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.
All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

Word of police activity per WTOP reporters; "we heard what sounded like a gunshot, we don't know where that came from or if that has anything to do with what's going on. Vehicle, box truck pulled over, police let the box truck go but they are now looking for another vehicle, that is all we've got for now."

I've never been mad..and understand why you wrote that..I really do. It is a moment of sharing, caring, concern and news to you. I also understand the loose lips thing too. I still have you and your sister in my prayers.

To: Fred Mertz
"a different vehicle?" Well, that narrows it down.
To: valleygal
So if you are privy to some inside information can't you just tell us this, is it domestic or foreign terrorism? Hey, you're anonomous here, to me anyway. Give us a DT or FT?
To: Mo1
Yeah, something's not adding up. Just saw on MSNBC the LE's are still looking at white box trucks in two different places on I 270.
To: Howlin
What MSNBC are you looking at?
To: Mo1
The WTOP reporter at the Rockville police task force HQ said that they clearly heard what sounded like a gunshot within earshot of the reporters on site...and cops I assume.
I'm waiting for updates...nah, I'm going home.
To: Vol2727
Sounds like this isn't over yet ..

Do you know what that means? Situation resolved? The white truck that was pulled over is resolved or the rifle pointed at the bus?
