Posted on 01/31/2003 9:11:33 AM PST by PhiKapMom
Fox and MSNBC reporting there is postal truck being driven by a woman postal employee that has been hijacked. People are actually approaching the truck as it slows down and one guy just threw his hands in the air as the postal truck drove off!

He has 2 handguns in the mail tray in front of him. A large caliber revolver and a semi-auto.

They must know WHO they are dealing with and taking the option that he would kill her later anyways.
To: YaYa123
I thought the same thing about the driver. As for caliber -- I had no idea either. Fox reported he has at least two guns! That circle by the truck was weird!

I've been watching this thing for quite a while. Has anybody heard how they even found out that the truck and driver were hijacked? I haven't heard anything about that.
To: YaYa123
Police now going by the truck! Getting ready to enter into another county in South Florida!

Not as big as it looks to that mailperson I'll bet.

Looks like police are going around and in front of the postal vehicle to clear out traffic. Police driving one of their cars with the back door on the driver's side open.

CNN is above all this. Doesn't cover domestic matters unless they're related to anti-Bush statements/protests. Would much rather cover international news and interview anti-US leaders/protesters etc.

I heard them say police got a call that there was a shooting at a residence. The shooter ran away, and hijacked the postal truck, with the postal employee on board.
Let's hope the local cops are more competent than their election boards.!

Why do you think that the police car has it's rear door open? Would that be to take a shot? It's the second police car.

Looks like the cops are getting fed up with this lunatic and are bringing out the entire force.

I saw that open door on the passenger side behind the driver. They said on Fox it wouldn't be smart to try and get a shot from the back of tht vehicle.
