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.

I'm torn now about international vs. domestic terrorism. But Brian Wilson knows more than he can say right now. He has said so.
To: Dog
This sounds BIG .. Brian Williams is reporting there will be more news to come but that he is not at liberty to say for obvious reasons
WOW!!

I never heard anymore about that credit card.
To: spectre
Why are they looking for a body, and yet this is connected to sniper? It looks like they would be looking for metal fragments with that detector. On Fox? Odd. We will see......
To: Texas Tea
Yes, I should rely on Occam's razor, shouldn't I...:)
To: Mo1
Well, anyone who thinks that 10 million can be transfered to a credit card is a fool. Either a foreigner or a really stupid American.
To: Mo1
proof of suitcase bombs?
To: tomkat
Holy Shi'ite.
To: Letitring
Their are probably looking for chemical or biological weapons. Dirty bomb.
To: spectre
Bizarre, msnbc still saying not for body. hmmm. I hate channel surfing.
To: Mo1
"What he heck is going on"?
Someone just collected a $500,000 reward?

To: Dog
Oh man, this is fascinating. WOW.
To: rintense
This story has more twists and turns than a Brittany spears video
To: AmericanInTokyo
It's even more interesting that Brian on FOX said that this will be happening all around the country. Now, to me, that means either sleeper cells, or some radical American group.
To: rintense
Hey, it could be 'domestic terrorism' fused with international terrorism. there are already connections to radical former black muslims, as well as hispanics (Padilla), etc. Aryan nation sang the praises of the Taliban all throughout the war. Who knows.
I don't necessary divorce 'domestic terrorism' from 'international' these days.
A raghead in spirit can just as easily carry a US passport.
To: snippy_about_it
CNN got scooped on this one by MSDNC. But I have mixed emotions about the press breaking this unless the LEs wanted it released.
