Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002
Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

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.

Yep - I was just down the road. It was VERY close to the ground.

Was it this close?

Thanks both of you.:)

Got the typical speech on the phone later from the principal saying he'd talked to the teacher and the teacher said he will watch more carefully what he says. We'll see. But, thanks for asking!

Gotta go get kids from school. Will try to get back.

I'm guessing that's the "alleged" brandishing of a rifle at a school bus on Interstate 270 in the Gaithersburg/Germantown area. No shots fired (at least that we know of). But we are expecting Moose-sign at 6P.
