I actually heard someone on the news say the witness admitted he was drunk and the reporter was wondering whether the person would be arrested for that admission. I have not heard that comment again, and no one had ever said it in the press conference.
Some have said that 9 dead, 11 shot has something to do with 9/11, but that's ridiculous, as those other two shot could easily have died from their wounds.
It's also a time for newscaster stupidity, as I have heard reporters talk about incidences, instead of incidents, and the other day, someone announced that a victim had been fatally killed!
We have also read in the papers that there was a motiveless killing in VA before the spree started and that it is being investigated as the first in the spree. But no one has reported this on television, nor have I heard it from the press conferences.
But I also wonder why they had to announce the sky surveillance. Does the media or the public have to know EVERYTHING? I mean, do they think the sniper doesn't watch TV? Why tell someone you're watching him from the sky, especially when it may send him to more underground parking garages or even another city?!
This whole thing is terribly frustrating.
