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.

Real player is working fine for me (I'm on a Mac).

I, too, would like to know where this is taking place.

The suspect's picture

[stumpy]

This would be twenty miles due east of Palmdale Ca.

[lainie]

Property owner says all friendlies are out
No one else to his knowledge should be there (but someone is)
Might be our guy; might just be another desert transient


Air unit is now attempting contact with announcement
He is not acknowledging
Treating as barricade situation
Locking down are roads

Dude's running on foot?

[lainie]

a family called 911 to say "some guy's living in our shed?" (PURE SPECULATION)

[lainie]

They're confirming that no one should be there at this time -- no repairmen, no visitors, etc.

[Not now, Not ever!]

Any idea what freq L-tac is?

[lainie]

L-TAC 11 is 483.1875

[lainie]

male, dark shirt, dark hair; walked around the property after the friendlies' van had departed

[from occupied ga]

Gee I wonder why there isn't this sort of activity when an lowly ordinary citizen is killed? < / sarcasm>

[lainie]

The guy they're seeing looks like he has a "glass eye" according to one LEO.

Suspect has a "lazy" eye, with tattoo underneath it, according to another.

[lainie]

"want to shut down x, and x, and x for traffic?"

"Shut down everything."

[Ben Bolt]

A face that only a mother could love ? He looks like the Fuller Brush salesman knocking on my door yesterday with that 1,000 yard stare .

I wish I could find a better picture. I know I heard LEO last weekend telling each other he was a "second striker." Whether that means this is third, or he only had one before the incident, I don't know.

A quick glance around the news wires brought this to my attention:

Slain deputy was feuding with town council, had filed suit alleging intimidation
