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.

Horse vets have a mobile x-ray machine.... They came out and did a head x-ray of Bob's horse right in the yard.

[TexKat]

Does anyone remember back I think it was in January 2002 that some new soldiers were found with stolen sticks of dynamite at Ft. Benning.

[Hatteras]

Good news.... The backyard in Tacoma is still intact per MSNBC.

It could, however, use a visit from the Green Team. Perhaps, a nice water feature over here..., a nice ivy trellis over there....

[Miss Marple]

I must echo your question about the x-ray machine. There are portable machines, but they are for x-raying legs and arms and such.

I would like to know who loaned the x-ray machine, and how the request was presented.

This war on terror provides Hollywood with both great dramatic movies and situation comedies. Hollywood should back President Bush because his administration will keep them employed for years.

[PJ-Comix]

Word is that they x-rayed the stump before they cut it out of the ground.

That's more than they did for Vince Foster's body.

[Letitring]

ROFLMBO.

[Mo1]

With a name like Peach you thought I was a man? What kind of man would choose a screen name like Peach? No, no - don't answer that.

"If the bullets don't fit you must acquit"

Okay. That's it. I'm changing to quinine. It's just getting too messy in here.

[Sacajaweau]

Don't make it so hard. They've been there since this AM. They dug one out, ran some ballistics and there is some kind of match, to what, we don't know. They need that darn trunk as evidence..simple.

[RobFromGa]

I got the TV here too

What's this "TV" thing everyone keeps referring to?

[rintense]

Theory: I wonder if the sniper has made other transactions on the stolen credit card, and if so, I wonder if the transactions have been traced to the warrant areas?

[Freedom2specul8]

Oh yeah..sometimes strong coffee will help clear the sinuses but it doesn't help ya sleep.... Unless you're extra sick and the caffeine won't keep you awake.

[Fred Mertz]

Who is Semi Osman? Where does he live? What does he do? TIA

[Carolinamom]

Excellent observation/theory.

[Darlin']

OMG. I'm green with jealousy. LOL

[HairOfTheDog]
