Interesting duo... And I agree Dario, assuming these two are/were the actual shooters, let's hope they don't have a couple friends who are helping out.

It is a shame that the leader (step father of his 17 year old partner) is another former Gulf War US Army Vet. Remember Timothy M. who destroyed the Federal Building in Oklahoma City and all of those innocent people? I just cannot fathom how the mind works.

Cold-blooded murderers on an ego trip?

What the hell happened here?

I don't know but I am also very saddened by the fact that the guy is former military...especially after sept. 11th...the only way it could be worse is if it was a local police officer (former or otherwise) they found a rifle, tripod, and nightscope in the guy's car.....hope this is the end of it...

Glad they got caught. Looks like the guys who were doing it. Imagine how scared people would have been if they never communicated with the police and just all of a sudden disappeared? Or even changed guns? My gut is that they were acting in a cell of organized terror.

what happens if this turns out to be another atlanta games bomber situation where the cops believe they have the guy, much like whats his name- richard or something????? and it turned out it wasnt him, all the "evidence" seemed to fit but it wasnt him, now he's getting a big payday or so i heard.
but then again the evidence against those two are very damning. but it will be disappointing if it turns out not to be!!!
