Did a search - did not see this posted. Searching the net now for an image of the poster (graphic aid) as this has been ballyhooed in the media around here since yesterday morning when Chief Moose announced it would be coming out.

No graphic posted yet except this image of a white box truck:

Will keep searching on the Google Beta News Search.

Where is Gunny Carlos N. Hathcock when you need him?

[areafiftyone]

Jeeze you know how many of them I see on the road?

[VaMarVet]

Hey Navy guy - long time no see!

[ladyinred]

Thanks for the picture of the white truck, although I am confused since before they were saying it was a Chevy with ladders. Oh well, hopefully, this will help them find the murdering slimes.

[Nitro]

Right back at you, Double D!!

Remember the last place I saw you??

Now I work upstairs!!

"They thought I was the sniper," said Hobert Epps, 36, of Athens, Ga., who said he was staying at a nearby motel.

Thanks for the post. I've been waiting for someone to come up with this guy's approximate age. If he really looks like the killer, then there goes my theory of the older teens/young adults team. We're entering now the wild wild world of international terrorism. That is IF one of the real killers looks like Epps.

The box truck was spotted at the scene in Montgomery County, MD. The white Chevy Astro van was spotted at the scene yesterday at Four-Mile Forks, Fredericksburg, VA.

"I feel like I'm experiencing, somewhat, what they do every day," Silverman said. "But here, there is no reason."

What a dumb thing to say. There is no reason for murdering civilians in Israel, or anywhere else.

That traffic cop that ran down the hill towards the shooting victim. Just made me think. What if the sniper is a rogue cop of some sort, didn't make the SWAT team? Perfect way to get away in a crowd and the last to be looked for.

[Nitro]

I don't see it as terror...

if it was terror, you would have the 200 yd shot.. and then when the Emergency Services showed up, you would feel the 1,000 yd shot!!

That would be terror, even if the first shot don't kill you...

the possible second shot means you bleed out!

What kills me, is, it seems that we've heard about this mysterious 'graphic' for days. And what we get is picture of a truck?

Our own 'Registered' could have cranked that 'graphic' out in about 20 minutes.

In fact, Registered could have put 'AlQueda Deliver and Storage' on the side with 'O. Bin Laden - Proprietor'.

"What kills me, is, it seems that we've heard about this mysterious 'graphic' for days. And what we get is picture of a truck? "

Exactly! They are like the keystone cops is this is the big Graphic we were waiting for....

I thought it would include the van too

How the hell does a truck that size disappear so easily, the van makes more sense !

[Nitro]

I agree, I remember Chief Moose promising a "graphic" from the FBI and when pressed he kept falling back on the old, it'll be ready when it's ready excuse!!

This can't be it, even the FBI can't be so F*CKED UP it takes them days to draw a truck...

Hell I could download a .gif and have it in seconds!!

What if the sniper is a rogue cop of some sort

Wasn't there a Clint Eastwood movie with the same scenario? I can't think of the name of it right now.

[VaMarVet]

You got that right - I heard about it yesterday morning riding into work - then it got delayed so they could do more work. I was expecting a lot more.

It is really edgy around here - this morning a fire truck went by the Stafford Home Depot (610 and I-95) with its siren on. I never saw anything like it - approx 30 people in the parking lot just froze and looked towards 610.

[StormEye]

Good look finding the right one. These trucks are very common. I see dozens of these vehicles every day where I live in Howard County, Md.

[JesseShurun]

That's what my wife said when I was musing out loud. I don't know. Just seems funny to me why that cop didn't call in on the radio and then head towards the shooter. I think that's what I would have done. What do you think?

[VaMarVet]

It was crazy getting home yesterday - left early. I work in Alexandria and live in Stafford, near Fredericksburg VA. I took RT 1 south as I-95 was a parking lot, even southbound. White vans were pulled over everywhere. Marine MPs were alongside LEO's at a roadblock in front of the Marine Corps base at Quantico. If they were in a white van I really do not know how they got by. The dragnet and roadblocks were in place almost immediately. I am not a LEO so this is just my MHO.
