4. Dead or alive, I hope they find him soon.

This guy strikes me a "go out in a blaze of glory" type.

7. We are all on edge...

I live in this area and we never lock our cars or doors (double locking now) but so many homes up here are summer homes for snowbirds and there are also many hunting cabins. He has so many places to hide.... but hunting season is ready to get underway and the bears are out in force trying to fatten up for winter maybe he'll run into a momma bear with her cubs!!

8. This reminds me of the Christopher Dorner episode...

in Southern California.
That got very bad.

9. Let's hope that

the cops don't shoot up a car of asian women.

[Duckhunter935]

10. that would be a nice thing not to do nt

12. The police were all on edge at that time...

and there were a couple of instances where there were vehicles that seemed to match the description (although it turned out they weren't that close to the description), and the police opened fire on them.

The Asian women were, I believe, delivering newspapers. They had their headlights off because they didn't want to disturb the neighborhood as they drove by to deliver.

11. Man. I forgot about that. That was a few miles from where I live.

Crazy! In then end, I think they got a good settlement out of it. Although, at first what did the city offer? I think it was something like a replacement (not even new) pickup truck. :/

13. The cops offered the women a newer pickup but no money

The women would have had to pay taxes on the truck, money they didn't have. I'm not sure what the eventual offer was that the women accepted.

14. They got a lawyer and got close to a million, I believe.

Sorry, I don't feel like researching now. But I recall that I was driving when I heard the settlement.
I think one was shot in the arm and the other near the spine. Again, not 100%.
Maybe someone can post a link.

15. Thye got 4.2 million dollars!

I hadn't followed up before on their settlement. They deserve every penny of this - not only was their truck shot up (102 bullets, according to the Wikipedia article), the mother was hit twice and the daughter was injured by broken glass. I can't imagine going back to delivering papers after that kind of incident.
