Chief Moose says the investigation continues and will continue until they are satisfied it is complete.

Says "we have not given in to the terror....in the end resiliency has won out".

AP might have been right then

About what?

Now thanking the media for their cooperation in carrying messages, and for their withholding info that would have jeopardized investigation. (also thanked the public)

He says his heart goes out to the victims and families of the shootings. Our thoughts and prayers are with all these people. They spent time with some of the families this afternoon.

Good news that you report.

Moose acknowledging the media. Cites their fierce competition, but that they played an important role and he commends the fine job they did.

Now giving a personal nod to the victims and their families.

We are going to Break for a Democratic Commercial at this time, from Duncan!

I figured that was a 'RAT blowhard.

We'll get some facts when they file the criminal complaints against the Johns, but we really won't know what evidence they have until the trial(s).

Gun found in car forensically linked to the crimes. Meeting tomorrow about charges. Investigation actually will continue, but they think these are the shooters.

Wouldn't he have done some time for that ?

The only record that has been found on him so far is a speeding ticket for doing 77mph in a 55pnh zone, a court judgement for back child support for $6,000+, various child custody matters and a restraining order by an ex-wife.

So Chief Moose isn't going to answer any of the "particulars" about the case.

Maybe someone should ask him if Mr. Blank is going to at least be honored at a banquet with a city plaque, since he has refused the reward money.
