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.

Yup, in the DC area; FOX says Alabama location is in or near another military base. Two "people of interest" are of military background. However, the main subject is not a sniper or special ops person, just a "clerk" type.

[Hatteras]

I can see it now,

Charlie, did you arrange for that truck pick-up for when we get to Maryland?

No problem, Stan, got a great deal on one of those Isuzu Box Trucks, they'll meet us at the gate...

[Slip18]

Cranberry juice on keyboard means I'll have to clean the danged thing. I'm just too busy here. . .

The truck is still being followed by the helicopter.

[Peach]

How'd ja know? That's southern speak, BTW. Icky breath but all this smoke talk has me salivating.

[slimer]

This is like watching grass grow.
