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.

What do you think now that we've heard several search warrants are being served throughout the country? Could be a lone gunman and they are checking previous residences but I'm back in the AQ cell camp.

Peach, they shouldn't have had the media there Monday at the Exxon Station, either.

Greta is still reminding us "we've been burned before"...She's so sensible...grrr.

You have to wonder why they bother. Who, may I ask, was helped by that event?

Yes. Why a press conference to start with?

So the reporters don't descend on the LEOs and tear the flesh from their bones in a "scoop" frenzy? :p

You're right - we hate to admit Gretta is sensible, but she is. And we have been burned before.

Was she still coughing, she has had a cronic cough for over a week. It has distruped her show.

Cold going on over the place, plenty of people coughing and sounding nasally on Fox. I caught it from a guy in NYC, myself. :p

foxnews says this is what they can confirmed;

sniper related, looking for ballistic evidence, agents acting on information from sniper investigation looking for bullet fragments and looking for relationship between tarot cards and vietnam related snipers in military.

Sniper is native american from hispanic extraction. People currently at residence in tacoma not suspects.
