Guess the Sniper wants money....

[Mermaid02]

... I heard on the news this morning that the Sniper left his note tacked on a tree and he said he wants money and then he'll stop killing people If not he said he would start hurting CHILDREN..... my guess is he specifically named those schools that were closed yesterday.

Hold on, I am pretty sure the 2 men they picked up yesterdayare not related to the sniper, but they are pretending they were to try to get money.

Or that's what I heard yesterday.

I've been listening to cnn and they aren't saying anything about the info I heard yesterday so I don't know.

I didn't hear that Serena.... I heard that they (police) found a 3 page "note" tacked to a tree by the Ponderosa where the man was shot 2 days ago.

The 2 illegal aliens are being deported too....

Serena, the explanation they have given us down here on what happened yesterday is that the sniper has used one of the payphones on that intersection to leave one of his messages. The police have been staking that area out waiting to see if he would come back again. When the white van pulled up, ATF gave them the go ahead to take them into custody.

It ended up being a case of being in the REALLY wrong place at the REALLY wrong time! Although they were found to be illegal aliens so they have been turned over to the INS.

Okay, thanks. It's amazing isn't it? The different things you hear from one minute to the next.

Always in a high profile, tense situation like this, there is speculation and unfounded news stories. We saw a lot of it on 9/11, statements by the news outlets, ehanced by the public, then retractions, and resulting confusion. Everyone is looking for answers, of which there are few to none at the moment.
