My first dog was a Yorkshire Terrier named Minnie. Everytime you post, I visualize a anthropomorphic version of my first dog typing on a computer.

^ Looks like the 4 door Sedan they were talking about earlier.

If this guy was smart enough to dump the backpack and wait for daylight, you have to think his chances of sneaking away to live another day (hours?) is pretty high at this point. Every suspicious person call involves a guy with a backpack right now.

Cops seem like they're on to something. Loading up by a water tower?

I don't think his plan is to escape, it's to inflict as much damage as possible. If he ditches all his weapons it won't be easy for him to get more.

Live coverage. Showing the robot right now. Pretty neat, actually.

Absolute terrible if true, although probably worse if it's not. Grieving family looking for their son/brother while the rest of the state is blaming him for a terrorist attack.

I'll wait for confirmation on this one, though.

A doctor at the hospital where the now deceased suspect was taken says the man had injuries consistent with some kind of explosive.

True but he's obviously getting his explosive material from somewhere as the suspects have managed to rearm themselves. Who knows what he has left.
