Local NBC News Channel | Oct 23, 02 | MSNBC

MSNBC reporting sniper related digging and searching of a building in Tacoma WA. FBI is involved. May be related to something the sniper told police

[HarryCaul]

If you're checking addresses, look at candidates along the lines of "3309 1/2 S Proctor". Rentals in duplexes sometimes have that kind of number for the street address.

As usual, the press briefing tells us nothing we didn't already know. Why do they even bother? It makes me mad. They should just shut up till they have something to say?

[DoughtyOne]

Did you see #483?

SEATTLE PI.com - SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER (AP): "AWOL SOLDIER HIDING IN WOODS FOR THREE MONTHS" (ARTICLE NOTE: The soldier is identified as Mikhail Sharov, age 25. ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BERDEEN -- An AWOL soldier apparently lived for three months in a hand-dug bunker furnished with an extensive collection of weaponry manuals, ammunition and night-vision goggles. The discovery of the bunker in the woods of north Aberdeen unnerved local and federal authorities, but they say Mikhail Sharov, 25, broke no laws besides trespassing -- for which he was sentenced yesterday to 45 days in city jail."

Your'e on for a doughnut.

[HonorInPa]

Gee, "we're searching the backyard for evidence" - No shit! Why give a non-news conference?

[kjam22]

Yep... no comment.. should mean no press conference

[bradactor]

Watch out what you say about Eddie Haskell. The real actor that played that part always come on and gives Rush a hard time when he refers to the character.

He is actually a conservative.

When they finally got Babyface Nelson, they did this sort of thing at the house my grandpa was living in, because Babyface had occupied the house before my grandpa, and they thought there might be money buried in the yard....but that was AFTER they got Babyface.

I'll bet they've already got the guy but have to build enough evidence to present him as the suspect so he won't just be a person of interest.

Those dates are the duration of a Mormon mission. Many Samoans are LDS.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

It IS a dig for a body.

This had to be in response to a tip.

[sinkspur]

Yeah, get Sink to tell if he knows or if he's guessing:

I'm guessing, like every other clueless blatherskite on Free Republic.

Everybody's taking a SWAG, and carrying it out five decimal places.

[Hemlock]

He has a masters in "Urban Studies", whatever that is. Didn't think it was a doctorate though. He also has a degree in history.

SO WHAT? He's still a dumbass who sounds like he got into college because of affirmative action. Also, I'm willing to bet he was graded easily in all of those subjective classes he took.

[volchef]

Basically, a search warrant has been issued to search a home in connection with the sniper shootings in Tacoma washington. Apparently they are looking for bullets and weapons that a former resident may have used for target practice there. More search warrants are supposed to be issued across the country. Very wierd.

[Arkinsaw]

Now that would be wild wouldn't it.

[GirlShortstop]

Does fox news have a live web feed like they used to, or am I stuck with MSNBC?

only know of PMSNBC.... my condolences... but! bright spot for ya: today's Moscow hostage situation was properly reported by msnbc.com in regard to the release of mooselimbs from the rebel suicide terrorists at the seiged theatre. CNN omitted that fact in their reports.

[aristeides]

Mikhail Sharov, sounds like a Russian name.

[Koblenz]

Quite a large Hawaiian population here. Not sure about Samoan, but probably. The 13 year old student that had sex with his teacher last name was Fualaau and I think he was Samoan

Yeah, and the teacher was from the DC area too. She is Mary Kay LeTourneau, daughter of John Schmitz, a former congressman and the guy who ran for President after George Wallace was shot. Dad got a million votes in the election in 1972.

"I would have called, wouldn't you? :-)"

Yup.
