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 heard/watched live video feed from msnbc...live channel from Tacoma Washington...(channel is King5)
The woman FBI agent (on the scene) confirmed that they are searching the outside and perimeter of home, not residents, when asked if the residents of the area are at risk, she commented, to the affect, There is not an immediate threat at this time, if there was, we would alert residents...She would not comment further except to say that several agencies were involved in the search including the local authorities, FBI and ATF.

Yep, killed the stump. Dug that sucker up right out of the ground, roots and all. FBI evidence collection team, looking in stump for bullet fragments, digging in the ground for bullet casings.
To: John Jamieson
They took the stump "into custody". No information as to whether or not it resisted.
To: berkeleybeej
Wow. I'm 'stumped' (ouch, sorry about that)! ;-)
To: Kip Lange
You're right, they would do it...
To: rintense
Gotcha !
To: Peach
What this looks like to me is that they now know the identity of the suspect but he is not in custody.

"stump will be flown first class to DC."And I thought I had a dull seatmate on my flight today. :)

I change theories hourly, myself. Have the same problem. Back to believing it's connected to international terrorism at the moment. Reserve the right to revise and extend my remarks in five minutes. :-)

Are you in Washington watching Fox or the local newscast?

"Possible connection with tarot cards and a connection to Ft. Lewis." Per Shep.
To: spectre; GummyIII
Did you hear the neighbor? She said men were standing in her driveway. She asked them to identify themselves and they wouldn't. She called the police and found out they were FBI. I wonder why they were afraid to identify themselves.
To: HairOfTheDog
You have to wonder why they bother. Who, may I ask, was helped by that event? It was a pleasant change to see a new group of folks saying "no comment at this time" for a change. :-) Well, sort of.
To: ~Kim4VRWC's~
They are flying the stump. Oh brother. How weird is this?
To: berkeleybeej
I'll say Oak just to be contoversial (Geez, maybe I can be a junior Media speculator).
In our neck of the woods, we find the target boards still attached to the trees.
