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.

Just got home and haven't read anything yet. Has anyone pointed out that Semi Osman was involved in this area?

Until his arrest, Osman participated in monthly drills at the Tacoma drill center as a member of Supply Support Battalion One, Company F, a fueling unit. As a new Naval Reserve member, Osman spent the bulk of his weekend duty training in Tacoma, though he also attended one field training exercise at Fort Lewis, Wash., Croce said"He didn't actually have access to fuel," Croce said. "It was an exercise in setting up equipment like a field fuel depot." The Tacoma Reserve Center is plum in the center of a host of military installations located in and around Puget Sound.

Looks like we may have a definite connection to a terrorist cell.

Greta's sensible, just a shame she can't alter her expression since all the surgery. ;-)

All I can say is: follow the money

You mean 'native born American' correct, kimosabee?

[Elenya]

I noticed you keep saying: the serial sniper. Does it mean there's only one now?

[spectre]

"FBI was first on site last night"...

So, they are fibbing..surprise.

Wish CNN and FOX would get coordinated on their info.

Sounds right. Tomorrow something else may sound right! Neck is hurting from the whiplash.

[HairOfTheDog]

Earlier they said a "Native to America or possibly hispanic" according to the linguists - Meaning native to the language... It was weirdly put.

[rintense]

I think they meant an American citizen of Hispanic dissent. Now saying Chief Moose may come to the mic tonight.

[Slip18]

The tree stump will be flown to DC! I told y'all it was the tree stump.

[edayna]

What IS a "native american of hispanic extraction?" DH and I are discussing that...

They were probably shooting at the stump. A prize inside?
