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.

Could a Native American (Indian) be a member of this group?

Good point!...Native Americans are about the only race not shot so far.

The stump is asleep - it's been a very long day. So I think I'll head off to bed myself. Stay safe everyone.

[aeronca]

I think they said Jamaican

[ET(end tyranny)]

I don't know how to interpret that. I'd imagine that since the last note we know of was recovered yesterday, the shooter didn't know that the stump in Tacoma was "in play", so tentatively we can discount that.

I think Moose mentioned that the shooter had been calling other departments trying to reach them. Perhaps all the activity in WA is what prompted the 'duck in a noose' statement?

I am very glad you pointed out that fairy tale.. it's better than being in the dark, clueless.

[ladysusan]

The tale is Native American is it not?

MSNBC--Tacoma Police Chief saying he did NOT hear anything about gunshots when asked by reporter? Time for these people to face the truth!

[GnL]

How about this one: USA ICON END OK

[Doohickey]

A ruse, perhaps?

[Freedom2specul8]

Good night ladies..sweetdreams

[WestCoastGal]

Well, take care if you go out tomorrow. I think this whole thing could really blow up into something really big.

[Kevin Curry]

Another version (Cherokee) here.

[Jhensy]

Just thought of something...the tarot card connection. Jamaica/voodoo/tarot??? It's a stretch, but remember Live and Let Die? Takes place in Jamaica, lots of voodoo, Jane Seymour plays a tarot sorcerer, death card is in there somewhere???

[Mo1]

I did hear that .. but anymore I'm not sure what relates to it

[Freedom2specul8]

Nite...

[John Jamieson]

How come if this guy is not the sniper, his car was seen at two shootings and his wife's car at another? I don't get it, maaan.

[Bella]

Oh SH*T!

[aeronca]

The Chief said "a danger not necessarily related to the sniper" (in so many words). What is in that white van or isuzu? I have posted this numerous times and no response. If these people are connected to people like Padilla, that van or truck could very well have explosives or something in it...any thoughts?
