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.

I am serious. Around 10 minutes after this started, three cop cars cruised past my house at a high rate of speed with sirens blarring. I live in a very quiet area and it is very uncommon to hear one cop car, let alone three.

We don't know for sure that it is more than one; didn't Ted Bundy cross the country in his killing sprees? It would be interesting to know WHICH OTHER parts of the country are being searched. If it's only 4 spots, it could indeed be one wandering nut.

I would say (IMHO) that this was the reason Bush made that statement today.

These guys are nailed, and he knows it.

Yes, you make sense. I think they are now saying it was a TREE stump..heavy like a body.

Searching for bullet casings there.

This is a huge operation and soooo cool to watch going down.
