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.

Marion, Alabama was probably named (like Marion County, Indiana) after Frances Marion, The Swamp Fox of the Revolutionary War.

"Brian Wilson confirms search warrants in Marion, Alabama, not far from Montgomery. "

OMG. That is where that "non-terrorist" training camp was abandoned. There is also a military school there. Marion Institute.

[Freedom2specul8]

Someone else has probably answered this by now..


FORMER RESIDENT, who was trained at fort something, former military of a house in seattle washington is under suspicion.

1. seattle washington house: search warrant..took tree stump out of yard for ballistic purposes..in case it was used for target practice.

2. seattle washington house: Used metal detector looking for shell casings

3. Sent tree stump to rockville maryland so atf could x-ray the stump.

4. search warrants issued in alabama, washington and somewhere else

5.

[Mo1]

Possible relations to it ..

[rintense]

Is MM series? or just dvmb?

[Dog]

Where you get that info at??

[Ramius]

OK... Here goes:

Focus of sniper bidness moved suddenly and inexplicably to Tacoma WA. FBI and other alphabet agencies searched back yard of a house near Tacoma mall. Apparently recovered a couple of shell casings (not sure of that?). Cut a stump from the ground that had been x-rayed and found to possibly contain bullets. Stump is now in u-haul truck, bound for airport and thence to Maryland.

Anything else is pure conjecture. How am I doin?

[Howlin]

No kidding?
