Just the overnight news wheel running so far.

Washington Post article Link Here

This article will explain a lot, a very interesting read with timelines of calls to the police, shooters timeline for receipt of $$ and more.

[Peach]

Good morning, Sac. You will be interested in post #5 article. Great stuff.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically.

There is an article posted (sorry I don't know how to link), but a 9 yr old was wounded at a football practice in Penn. Any ideas why we are not hearing about this? Why is not being considered as related?

[MissHardihood]

I didn't hear if the bus driver was killed by the sniper. Has anyone heard?

[Kerberos]

"I didn't hear if the bus driver was killed by the sniper"

He died.

[Neets]

Good morning Peach! Thanks for all you do here every day.

This is the work of the Palestinians, even if it is found out to be the French guy, the Palys put him up to it and maybe even Saddam will pay the perps family.

[MissHardihood]

I did not make my question very clear.

I was wondering...did the police prove that the sniper was the killer of the bus driver?

[xsmommy]

imagine being that trainee that took the call and just blew him off. wow....

SILVER SPRING - After police pleas for a telephone dialogue, the serial sniper stalking the Washington region responded yesterday with a different statement: the killing at daybreak of a bus driver, accompanied by another demanding letter left for authorities, less than a mile from where the gunman began shooting three weeks ago.

i don't know if they have the ballistic evidence back to prove it, but the article in post #5 does say that he left a second message in the woods there in Aspen Hill yesterday, so i think it is pretty clear.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

OK:), so why do you think it is not related? Don't you think it at least ought to be considered?

"I was wondering...did the police prove that the sniper was the killer of the bus driver?"

No I do not beleive that they have matched ballistics yet.

[MissHardihood]

Thanks!

[John Lenin]

I just said that this guy is on orders from Palys. Think about it, threatening children, asassinations ??

[Sacajaweau]

I think the new note is confirming it. But you're right, we haven't heard anything on the ballistics.

I'm sure many of us have been waiting for him to change from the particular weapon he has been using.
