ATTENTION

Big doins right now on high desert ATAC. They're surrounding a house in the vicinity of 200 ST E and AVE R.

"be advised we've got no cover and are sitting ducks if he's scoping us.."

"we need more units!"

They're surprising the location.

Sounds like they might think they got him, getting SB involved.

Air ship on scene.

[lainie]

Crawl spaces under outbuildings. They're going to start taking buildings down instead of sending in K9's right away. They think he might be 'lying in wait'..

Doubling the meal count, contingency plan.

[Joe Hadenuf]

They are doubling the meal count to 100.......

[Semper911]

Doubling the meal count, contingency plan.

Doesn't look good. I just wish I knew why they didn't do the SWAT thing on all those buildings hours ago.

They must have hundreds of guys standing around out there, and they may be there for the night.

I can tell you that not being an amateur astronomer I still find y'alls ability to view an object that is moving from a perspective that is moving amazing.

Focusing on a crawl space under a structure......

[lainie]

The reason they're going through this tonight

[Semper911]

How many CPs do they need? I count 3, and there is maybe more.

They seem to have plenty of indians, but maybe still too many chiefs.

[Joe Hadenuf]

It's going into night, no doubt about it.

[headsonpikes]

Better chopper in some doughnuts and coffee.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Yeah, all the brass is there for the photo op thing, including the Feds.....I'm surprised the Gray Davis doesn't show up and start telling everyone what a wonderful job he's done.....

KABC-7 Los Angeles:

Lake Los Angeles — Los Angeles County sheriff's officials say the man suspected of killing L-A County Sheriff's Deputy Stephen Sorensen was holed up inside a house in Lake Los Angeles.

Sheriff Lee Baca says deputies surrounded the home in which Donald Charles Kueck was barricaded. Baca says Kueck has admitted to shooting Sorensen.

During a news conference at the scene, Baca vowed to take Kueck "dead or alive."

I noticed the same thing last weekend. They must have moved the CP, or created new ones, 4 times.

I saw this slob of a sheriff's office bureaucrat, Mike something, on TV earlier talking about how this has been a 24-hour job since last Saturday. That may be, but these guys had their whole day made when an informant tipped them off this morning. They had NOTHING before that. NO CLUE where he had gone. It took them 3 days to release the perp's name, and days after that to move him from "person of interest" to "suspect."

Not to besmirch the cops but the politicians living inside them really bug me.

[Fitzcarraldo]

This is what they need to do.

[Semper911]

3 Shots fired

[Semper911]

3 Shots fired, thankfully they aren't going to do the 30 minute roll call.

[Semper911]

More shots fired (code 923) coming from the target location.

[lainie]

7 or 8 shots

[ArmstedFragg]

shots fired (code 923) coming from the target location.

And NOT from SWAT.

18650 Palmdale Blvd. Is that the home?

That's almost exactly where the CP was at one point last weekend. 180th & Palmdale Blvd; I remember.
