#2 You are a strange blessing Joseph. It was a little noted role by O'Connor (shut up, we got the game on!) who was kinda overwhelmed by Eastwood, Sutherland, Rickles et. al. but not a bad part at all.

"We have interviewed this individual," an FBI front man said. "There is not a manhunt and there never was one. There is no imminent threat to public safety, nor should the public be concerned that this threat exists from an individual on the lam."

.....but on the off chance you happen to see Booker or his brother, please ring up the SAC, Kansas City asap.

#9 Shooting with casualties reported at Ft. Hood

The Texas Department of Public Safety reported a shooting with casualties Wednesday at Ft. Hood, scene of a 2009 attack that left 13 dead.

No further information was immediately available on the incident, the shooter or the extent of any injuries.

A banner running at the top of Ft. Hoods website cautioned, Shelter in place immediately. This is not a test.

In 2009, U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, a psychiatrist who had become a radical Muslim while serving in the military, killed 13 people and injured dozens more inside the Army base in Killeen, Texas. Hasan, who represented himself at a military trial after clashing with his appointed attorneys, was sentenced to death in August.

#10 Well done, gentlemen. I've posted an article on Page 1 with the information here. Let's add further updates to that thread, if y'all would be so kind.

Let us join the FBI in devoutly hoping the killer is not the gentleman they released in the story at the top of the thread.

#11 Quote from FBI above:

We have interviewed this individual, an FBI spokesman said. There is not a manhunt and there never was one. There is no imminent threat to public safety, nor should the public be concerned that this threat exists from an individual at large."

Drain the useless, Federal Swamp.
