Anyone know what was going on? About 8 sheriffs cars and undercovers went flying down towards Pompano Joes w/ lights on. About 5 minutes later, they came roaring back the other way on 98.....:confused:

Does anyone know if they have tunneled in on this creep yet? Kinda hard to go to sleep with a wacko on the loose.

Chopper has night/heat vision on...just went by
.
Won't this make it easier to find him than in daytime? How effective is the night/heat vision?

Armed officers just knocked on my door!

I'm in Bay Magnolia off of East Point Washington - 3 armed officers just knocked on my door making sure we were all okay. They said to stay in with doors locked - uh, that would be a big yes sir.

Good lord! Hope they catch him soon - I don't think we'll get a wink of sleep until they sound the all clear! :blink:

If they are looking intensely in Inlet Beach and Pt. Washington, it sounds like they are losing the trail.

still searching

I am off of E. Mitchell...Police cars with spotlights still prowling streets. Helicopter still in the air. My dogs stir everyonce in awhile which puts my stomach into knots...No sleep tonight.

Pretty scary stuff for around here, but when I lived in Chicago and Los Angeles, they just called it Friday.

I live on East Mitchell and I spoke with a friend of mine with the SWFD who checked with disbatch for an update for me. He said to make sure to leave as many outdoor lights on as well as all of the other warnings. I hear no helicopters and have seen no cops since they secured my house as I requested (5pmish).

A friend in Cypress Breeze heard gunshots and called 911. Hopefully this is unrelated and no one is hurt and the dude is about to get caught wherever he may be...

Yeah, they are looking at the island out there again. This is going to be a long night. We grabbed our ladder that was in our yard and brought it in, locked up tight, dogs bedded down with our kid.

Ditto. And I'm somewhere between afraid and pissed off.

Eden Drive, locked up the fortress tight, and called out the alligators to provide a safe moat for all of us.

Ugh... I hope everything is OK there too.
Nobody's getting any sleep tonight.
I wish there was something I could do besides pray.

We saw about four or five WCSO cars about 30 minutes ago in Seagrove. Several deputies were surrounding a guy on the bike path who kind of looked like the suspect. No cuffs, no guns, no drama.

ShallowsFuzz just strolled through to use the facilities; no sign yet.

As many cops/fire/first responders as descended on the area (quickly!) to secure the perimeter this afternoon, I have a hard time believing that he managed to catch a ride to Inlet Beach. But, you never know.

I'm personally hoping he met up with one of our infamous six-foot Eastern Diamondbacks while running through the piney woods between McQuage Bayou and Hwy 98. Shoot it if you want to, but it will still bite you before it succumbs.

Part of the problem is that the suspect looks like any number of guys around here, and based on the photo, not particularly menacing.

Stay safe, everyone.
