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.

see my #817

My first thought, in all fairness, was that KCAL 9 was screwing things up (as it usually does). I did not watch KTTV Los Angeles Channel 11. They came on 37 minutes ago. (recorded)

Google news search

I've been doing this search for the last few hours to see what pops up. A lot of papers picking up this story.

[Not now, Not ever!]

And clowns

[lainie]

Take a deep breath. Here's some water. Someone will be by to speak with you eventually.

TU.

I'm off to bed y'all. Hope everything works out. I'll check the thread in the morning.

[iowamomforfreedom]

Not according to the NY Times link.

I'm so confused...

[lainie]

Wow. 30 versions of "house with suspect burns to ground."

Gosh is it true? Wouldn't want them to be embarassed.

[Z-28]

Phew! For a moment there, I thought there are cop killer units organizingg all over the desert.

[lainie]

'nite TJ. Thanks.

[Dan Cooper]

Maybe the press release went out prematurely ;}

[lainie]

It has taken these guys HOURS to 'authorize' Edison to cut the power. I just heard the call at 22:42.

[strela]

Thanks for your running commentary on this one.

I don't suppose somebody could compose a SITREP on thread for what's happened so far?

[lainie]

Golly. We should ask for some fresh brains to take responsibility for occasionally post a sitrep, at this point.

[lainie]

posting.

See, I can't type anymore.

[iowamomforfreedom]

So the friendlies gave their keys to the commander, who gave them to a paster, who they can no longer locate.

sigh.

[Semper911]

All I know is that I have listened to this radio traffic for the last 12 hours, thanks to Lainie and her husband.

I know 2 things: The main house didn't burn down, and the cops don't have a clue where the perp is.
