Ashland Shooting: Sunday Updates

[GRRRRR]

The other thread is running over 2800 posts...so here's a new place to post for Sunday.

Per FOXNews, a 10am EASTERN news conference is planned. Two travelers pulled off I-95 for dinner at a Ponderosa Steak House. The Man, 37, was shot in the gut while his wife stood next to him.

Bullet has NOT been removed from the man while, after surgery, he remains in Critical but GUARDED condition, however, x-rays are expected to provide some dimensional analysis of the slug. Further surgeries may be required on the victim, according to FOX and then the bullet is likely to be recovered.

Meanwhile, the "white" box truck/van that was found with a "Shell" in it at Dulles is reported to be a 7.62 (.030'??) OLD shell and NOT expected to be part of the "Sniper Shootings".

Multiple LEA's are now in Ashland, VA located about 80 miles south of DC to begin more site investigations at first light of dawn.

Numerous witnesses in the area saw the man fall down and provided aid to the man. The man was still conscious and spoke during the rescue. According to (spit) CNN, there will be NO news conferences from the hospital.

Over to you Laurie Dhue...GRRRRRollin'

CNN keeps using the term "note" when Moose simply described what was left as a 'message'......

it could have been a message left on the Ponderosa's answering machine.

[kcvl]

Some DUMB IDIOT they would have to be. I wonder if it is a ME connection that has Moose so INTENSE(Howlin...lol).

Moose..."TO THE PERSON WHO LEFT THE MESSAGE AT THE PONDEROSA LAST NIGHT...CALL US AT THE NUMBER THAT YOU PROVIDED"...

[hole_n_one]

It makes no sense........

Moose wants the person who left the # to call that same #.

[kcvl]

Message NOT note is correct. STRANGE...

[tomkat]

which is exactly what the reporters and talkin' heads have been doin' in the slack periods for the last two weeks,
except our speculations don't give this sumbitch ideas for his next shot, ya know ??

[hole_n_one]

FNC: Maybe it's a code that only the killer understands.

LOL

[Cboldt]

Yes, that's exactly what he said! The number the SHOOTER left...

I didn't hear the word SHOOTER, I heard PERSON. FauxNews is jumping to the conclusion (which may or may not be correct) that the PERSON who left the note is the SHOOTER, or on the SHOOTER team.

[areafiftyone]

Moose is not very good at speaking correctly so I think he just mixed up the words a little. I think he is saying to the person who left the note please call us we want to hear from you.

[Semper911]

A cell phone?

Okay, how about this: The shooter leaves one of those cheap cell phones somewhere, and told the cops he would call.

If this is what he did, it is brilliant, because there is no way the cops could trace the phone or the call.

[kcvl]

Maybe Moose was so INTENSE that he screwed up the "message". Shooter call the number that YOU left? Who is going to answer that number?

[CharacterCounts]

Perhaps the note left a phone booth number so the conservation would be hard to trace.

[kcvl]

You are correct Moose did say PERSON not SHOOTER that is MY mistake...

[ladyinred]

I don't understand him asking the person to call them at the number he left! This is really strange.

[valleygal]

agreed!

[Elenya]

Doesn't make any sense.

Unless they think it's a team and are trying to make it look like one is ready to talk. If it's a team of 2 (or more), and they're not muslim terrorists, it seems obvious to me that at least one of them had in mind to eliminate the other(s) eventually.

Maybe one of them is scared and is trying to get police protection. Or maybe Moose wants them to think that's the case. Any other explanation anybody? Can't think of anything else right now, but there has to be some other possible explanations.

[CharacterCounts]

I don't understand him asking the person to call them at the number he left! This is really strange

Think pay phone.

[kcvl]

The WHOLE thing is STRANGE...Local LE, FBI, CIA, Military planes, etc.

Can ONE person be so "smart" as to arrange all of this carnage & TERROR?

[valleygal]

except they aren't giving us any music links.:)

[hole_n_one]

If that's the case, why did the person find it necessary to provide the phone # of the cell phone?

[AUsome Joy]

Fox said that perhaps the person left a number but are now afraid to use it because it could be traced, but now the police were able to "overcome" that number and are telling the person they can now call that number and not be afraid. It sounded like this was Skip's thought.
