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.

Bellingham, Wa. earlier today, too. That King tv station in Tacoma. Lester on MSNBC saying they are being alot more SPECIFIC. Somebody get that station, please.

[Sacajaweau]

I'm now inclined to believe that phone booth scenario was a deliberate "dismal failure" to make the guy do something else.

They are sleepers who may have trained in the military.

[rintense]

Someone monitor MSNBC and I'll stay on FOX...

[Jrabbit]

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know Zigler made a statement. By the way, I'm just east of you in Kaufman Co.

[TexKat]

When did the word SUSPECT become unusable in this language?

Oh, not in this language,just in LE terminology per Ashcroft. Remember Hatfield - person of interest.

[Diverdogz]

So is it "The Southern State of Alabama"....or "Southern Alabama"?

Fort Rucker? (Total speculation)

[valleygal]

They figure they will start ratting each other out...is that what he said?

Its hard to eat, type and watch TV at the same time (and now talk on the phone) but I'm trying.

[Mo1]

no, Peach, I iron too....I like creases....hanging my head in shame.

Well I like them too but thankfully the hubbies company went semi casual .. NO MORE SUITS .. YAHOOOO!!!!

[HairOfTheDog]

I've got King 5 on.... they are interviewing the neighbors.

[Peach]

I know, Kim. It will be a shame.

[commish]

sure as heck hope they aren't our military men.

Me too, I am livid -- I am Active duty Air Force and have numerous Army Ranger friends. To think it is one of our own, and maybe a group is gutwrenching. And in my own backyard too!

[Letitring]

God love her heart, hugs from me. :)

[SarahW]

It burns my butt they kkep calling Richmond "southern Virginia" as if that's all that's left after one departs northern Virginia.

Richmond/Ashland are in CENTRAL VIRGINIA, thank you very much.

[Kip Lange]

Someone monitor MSNBC and I'll stay on FOX...

No problem. Whether or not it's the place to be, I refuse to give MSNBC any ratings share. ;-) FOX for me.

[Howlin]

Punch here

[bcoffey]

"Not a problem I seem to have because it's all been in a basket for the last 3 MONTHS"

Oh, I get it! If you don't iron it, they can't wear it, and if they can't wear it, you don't have to wash it, and if you don't have to wash it, you don't have to iron it! LOL

[swarthyguy]

I caught your mention last night....And haven't gone thru the whole thread... but does this match what you heard last night?

[rintense]

Exactly. That's why FOX is on my TV 24/7.

[Yaelle]

LOL! I do belong in the belly bunch! (6 months pg!)
