To avoid multiple vanity threads regarding any news from press conferences, let's keep a live commentary thread going again today.

Note: This is the graphics-free thread. Graphics can be found under the thread titled "Beltway Sniper Shootings-Graphics Only"

My handle. I need to change it.

[William McKinley]

Thanks for providing all that great information.

[jacquej]

You got the wrong poster... I didn't say a word about cameras following our every move! Your post should be directed elsewhere!

[Elenya]

The perp is clearly watching news coverage

That's obvious. Surfing however requires much more time and dedication :o) On the other hand, you can do other things while having the TV or radio on.

WMAL reports that the fire at the Union Station Metro station has now been put out.

Please you would think I was asking to declare war. Lighten up! It was as comment!

[Molly Pitcher]

Fox is reporting the latest victim worked for the FBI, and the "expert" on now says the shooter may have been a little too bold last night and made some mistakes...

[areafiftyone]

It was as comment!=It was just a comment!

"Go 100 yards to the end of the access road, there's a stop sign, not a light. Make a right onto Patrick Henry, drive 200 yards, and you're at the Rt. 7 light. Make a right, and you're headed back to Seven Corners. A left, and you're headed toward Bailey's Crossroads"

Or the perp could go straight at the light into the Lake Barcroft community and you can get to Columbia Pike, route 50, the beltway, route 395, route 7 or a vast area of older homes to hide near in 15 minutes at that time of the night. It took the police 15 minutes to set up roadblocks.

My handle. I need to change it.

Same here. Can't stand mine anymore...

[texasbluebell]

Rita Cosby on Fox just now saying that this latest victim worked for the FBI.

[Kip Lange]

My friend just heard on CNN radio the police are going to get a composite sketch of the suspect. They had witnesses who saw him. Hopefully soon.

And with any luck, it'll be as good a job as the Unabomber sketch. :-(

I am lost here... went back to post 350, and it wasn't addressed to you. Which comment of mine indicates that I need to "lighten up"?

[Molly Pitcher]

And bloodhounds picked up strong scent all the way to the beltway, puzzling LEOs....maybe the 2 vehicles rendezvoused some place is also being looked into.

[Indiana Jones]

Also that bloodhounds picked up scent 4-5 miles from scene...speculating that perp may have been on foot and gone to meet a ride...

[Kip Lange]

there is no such thing as a temporary saftey measurement put in place by the government.

Point well taken. Great Society programs had sunset provisions, didn't they? Correct me if I'm wrong...

[areafiftyone]

My humble apologies. I thought you were another postere. Please accept my apologies. :-)

[Centurion2000]

One question .... was she white ?

[areafiftyone]

I don’t think prayers times would have any bearing on shooting times, (if this is a jihadist) since prayers can be combined, postponed or shortened, if circumstances warrant.
