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.

From NWCN.com/KING5.com (NW Cable News & KING-TV/DT Seattle):
BREAKING NEWS: FBI investigates possible NW link to sniper deaths
10/23/2002
KING5.com SEATTLE - Police in Tacoma on Wednesday began investigating a possible link between the Washington, D.C.-area sniper shootings and Western Washington.
Late Wednesday afternoon Tacoma Police sectioned off a backyard in Tacoma and were searching it using metal detectors and chain saws, which could be seen on video footage first captured by KING 5 News.
Investigators were cutting up pieces of a stump in the yard for reasons which were not immediately clear.
Ballistics and other evidence connected Tuesday's shooting of a bus driver in Maryland to the fatal shootings of nine other people and wounding of three in the Washington, D.C. area, said Michael Bouchard of the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
The search in Tacoma was being conducted in the 3300 block of South Proctor Street near the Tacoma Mall, a quiet residential neighborhood.
FBI agents in Seattle acted after investigators in the D.C.-area shootings called asking them to check it out.
More to come.

There is 100 miles of "middle of nowhere" between Olympia and Portland, so it is not a corridor with a lot of relationship to Portland.
To: Mo1
Fox saying perhaps sniper has killed before. They are still sticking with a body. Why would they chop up a tree stump, looks pretty large.
This is incredible.
To: looney tune
You're kidding! I am listening right now to FOX. Shep is going the Fox Report.
To: snippy_about_it
Are they looking for slugs in the stump? The neighborhood is fairly crowded and I doubt you could get away with target practice there.

MSNBC now feeding KING-TV/DT (KING5) Seattle live.
