From the few news reports I have seen (man, does news flow out of this area slow or what?), it appears they have the two suspects in custody.

It will be really interesting to find out what they are all about.

Of course, those who just want to spout disinformation will probably say that the two in custody are being set up. But they won't be proposing anything, just implying. ;-)
