Columbus, Ga. manhunt
Tuesday February 1, 2011
10:48 Hey everybody...welcome to our live chat
about the North Columbus police manhunt
10:49 Here's what we know so far: Columbus police
are currently searching for an armed suspect in
a wooded area in north Columbus and shots
have been fired.
Police are believed to be looking for Columbus
attorney Richard F. "Richie" Dodelin,
according to multiple sources. He is the son of
prominent local attorney Richard A. Dodelin,
who specializes in DUI cases.
10:50 There was an overnight homicide at 84
Lumber, which is off Fortson Road. Police
Maj. Stan Swiney said the homicide and
manhunt were connected.
10:53 [Comment From HMAC ]
Have you heard that he Dodelin is supposed to
have been Bullards attorney
10:53 We have not heard that, HMAC
10:54 [Comment From Johnson ]
Does anyone think that it is weird that the man
was shot last night, yet the manhunt that began
at 7:00 a.m. this morning was in the same
place. So a man shot somebody and stayed in
the same place and by the way, kept wearing
an orange vest?
10:54 [Comment From Guest ]
just heard shots fired Does this mean they have
him?
10:54 [Comment From HMAC ]
hmm ok. Thanks Ledger for keeping us posted
by far the best info in the media yet.
10:54 We have not heard they have him
10:55 Thanks, HMAC. Keep following for updates.
10:56 We've heard that shots were recently fired, but
we haven't been able to confirm that
10:56 [Comment From The real Reggie ]
What were they alleged to be doing in the area
where the shooting occured? Is it known?
10:56 [Comment From HMAC ]
Guest ..what are you located that you heard
shots
10:58 We're still looking into that, Reggie
10:58 [Comment From CYarbrough ]
The search began at 7 AM. If they are
searching Pritchett Rd that is only 1 mile from
the start of the chase. After almost 4 hours he
should be atleast 7 miles from where he
started. Do you think they are searching the
right location?
11:00 Law enforcement in Harris County and
Muscogee County are involved in this search,
which covers a fairly large wooded area
inhabited mostly by estates and farms.
11:00 [Comment From Guest ]
How close is the search for the shooter to
Northside High School?
11:01 One of the roads mentioned during the
manhunt is Almond Road, which is about 3
miles north of Northside High School
11:01 [Comment From TT ]
What is the relationship between the shooter
and victim
11:02 We're still investigating that, TT
11:02 [Comment From Ponchi ]
Dodelin lived on Hubbard road. was alledgedly
having an affair with victim's ex-wife
11:02 [Comment From worried mom ]
thanks for the updates on here my son is in
school over that way on lock down
11:03 We know lots of parents are worried.
Administrators are taking precautions by
locking the doors, covering the windows and
not allowing students to go outside.
11:03 [Comment From The real Reggie ]
Thank you.
11:03 No problem, Reggie. Thanks for sticking with
us.
11:05 [Comment From JK ]
Haven't they spotted him recently?
11:05 We haven't heard that, JK
11:05 [Comment From Dirtdiver ]
And is there any word from MCSD about
when the school lockdowns will be lifted?
11:05 That will depend on the manhunt, dirtdiver.
The lockdowns have not been lifted.
11:06 We are just about ready to post an updated
version to the main story at ledger-
enquirer.com. Three law enforcement agencies
are working the manhunt.
11:06 [Comment From Castellow ]
Do you know if a K9 Unit has been called in?
What about the Helicopter Columbus recently
purchased, is it in the sky? Hopefully we are
using the resources we pay so much for.
11:07 Helicopter unit has been called in, as well as a
K9 unit
11:07 [Comment From Granna ]
Do we know why this crime was committed to
begin with?, and is it true that there were 2
victims?
11:08 We don't know, Granna. We have only heard
of one victim.
11:08 [Comment From Ss ]

called to the scene.

11:16 [Comment From Julie ]

Bullard II is believed to be connected to the

My son's school, Fort Middle School, is on

I-185
11:57 [Comment From Meg ]
I hear he supposedly shot someone else by the
Medical Center. I am wondering if that is just a
rumor going on at the hospitals though.
11:57 We haven't heard that, Meg
11:58 [Comment From jill ]
how do you guys know if hes runningh on foot
or in a car?
11:59 Comments keep flowing in about an incident
near the Medical Center. We have received
NO information about any shooting or incident
near the Medical Center. The manhunt is
happening miles to the north.
11:59 He's been in a 2- to 3-mile area for hours,
which leads us to believe he's on foot

What a great news source during this terrible
time in the city...great job!
12:00 [Comment From Another Teacher ]
I want to echo the sentaments of the previous

So many rumors flying and i know our
children are uneasy at school today. Thanks for
all you do.
12:49 [Comment From JimU ]
What is the victims last name? Is it Bullard or
Ballard? WRBL reports Ballard and you report
Bullard. Thanks for the great updates!!
12:50 It's Bullard, according to our sources. We'll
double check.
12:50 [Comment From guest ]
Thanks for this page. Is it necessary for me to
keep refreshing the page or will the updates be
prompted on this chat?

12:51 [Comment From daniel mitchell ]
why do police assume that he has not fled the
area?
12:52 Daniel, we don't have an answer for you. What
we do know is police are looking in a specific
area.
12:52 [Comment From LeeS ]
Yeah, all these rumors are insane. Maybe the
next rumor will have him whisked away by
UFO.
12:52 [Comment From guest ]
will they let school out at regular time if the
suspect has not been caught or will they keep
them until he is?
12:53 We haven't heard any changes to dismissal

I live in North Columbus, but I am currently
out of town. It is great to still be able to get up
to minute information on the situation back at
home. Thanks so much.
12:57 UPDATE: Dodelin was renting a home from
Columbus attorney Jim Butler. He had lived
there for a long time, Butler said.
Butler said it was his understanding that
Dodelin was living there with his family.
12:58 [Comment From mom2boys ]

I would hope.
12:58 We believe this was the home the suspect fled
from this morning.

1:26 We are receiving dozens of comments ever
five seconds or so. We cannot post or answer
all of them.
1:27 The search area is a roughly 2- to 3-square
mile area north of Hubbard Road, east of
Whitesville Road and west of I-185. The area
is just north of the Columbus Welcome Center.
There are very few homes in the vicinity.
1:28 Hubbard Road crosses I-185 about a mile north
of Exit 12. It is between Exit 12 and Exit 14.

Thanks for the updates, I live close to 84 and
the area they are looking in. I will definitely
use caution going home tonight!
1:39 [Comment From Guest ]
So it sounds like police have him surrounded
so either he will be caught dead or alive.
Hopefully this information will make the
parents of kids in that area feel safer at pick-
up.

Prayers for the families of these men!

1:46 [Comment From Northside Student ]
At Northside anyway, we've been told that the
only way to get checked out is if you have a

financially in recent years.

im pretty sure theyll tell us if hes captured or
killed
1:48 We will!
1:48 [Comment From Guest ]
I think it is horrible that their financial
situation was posted. That is none of our
business. All they needed to say was that he
had financial troubles. Sad.
1:50 [Comment From mks ]
ironic that a lot of the speculation is being
stirred on the L-E chats. this live format is
much more productive.
1:51 [Comment From Guest ]
I have children in Double Churches
Elementary, DC Middle, and Northside. I just
received a call from the middle school stating
that they will be releasing the children as
usual, except for children who walk home.
parents will have to make other arrangements
1:53 UPDATE: New Mountain Hill will not release
students on school buses. Parents will receive a
recorded message at 2 p.m. This could
potentially affect all Harris County schools,
including Harris County High School.
1:53 [Comment From gues ]
Double Churches Middle stated that if your
child was a car rider they would be releasing
those kids one by one.

What does the financial situation have to do
with this anyways?
1:55 [Comment From uh huh ]
Well, don't do stupid stuff and things won't get
posted about you.
1:55 [Comment From Guest ]
He made it our business when he committed a
crime.
1:55 [Comment From Guest ]
I disagree. He allegedly committed a crime
which makes him a person of public interest. If
he wanted to keep his private life private, he
shouldn't have shot someone.
1:55 [Comment From Guest ]
I agree. As if nobody else is going through
financial difficulties in this economically
challenging time!
1:56 [Comment From NHS Student ]
It becomes our business when he makes the

There are alot of folks with financial problems

of our children's lives at stake. And the police
and people in this area.
1:56 [Comment From guest ]
Its public record.
1:57 [Comment From just me ]
I think it should be posted people try to make
people out to be monsters and sometimes its
just they cant take the pressure of things and
they snap
1:57 [Comment From Drew ]
The guy is now a fugitive from the law and a
threat to all society in that local area. The
public has the right to know whatever
information is postede about him. He no longer
has the right to privacy he lost that when he
killed a man and shot at our police force.
1:57 [Comment From Guest ]
I think if anyone takes another life nothing is
private
1:57 [Comment From Guest ]
I agree!!!!! who hasn't !

financial problems are no reason to kill a good
man! There is so much more to this!
1:58 [Comment From TDJII ]
Agreed Guest posting at 1:48pm
1:58 [Comment From bc ]
why does the news feel the need to put peoples
private information out to the whole world to
see, that's no one's business but his own, what
they owe to SunTrust and Target has no
relevancy to this situation and even if it does,
it's still not anyone's business!
1:58 [Comment From Concerned ]
I totally agree Guest! Way too much on that
1:59 [Comment From unbelievable ]
i agree. its not our business what his financial
situation was in detail. thats not right putting
his business out there like that.
1:59 [Comment From Guest ]
All the news that fit to print...Financial records
and detail help shed light on the suspects
motives. I believe, as will many others

2:05 [Comment From Guest ]
Not fair to the wife that their financial business
was posted for all to read. She has done
nothing to deserve that kind of humilation. I'm
sure she's feeling humilated enough as is!
2:05 [Comment From Lexi ]
financial situation could have been a motive
2:05 [Comment From Guest ]
Frustration with finances would definitely
contribute to motive to settle the score with the
victim. That is very relevant information.
2:05 [Comment From harris county ]
his wife didn't ask for any of this!

Great job to all the law enforcement that are

2:15 [Comment From Guest ]
who cares who he owed what to. The main
question is why he did this and why is he
running.
2:15 [Comment From Grg ]
As a society we have become cyical and
without specifics the question would be asked
"Just how financially difficult is his life?" It
simply puts perspective on his situation. not
justifying, simply stating that the press is doing
their job
2:16 NEW DETAILS: The shooting happened
between 11 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. It occurred at
84 Lumber. The victim was shot multiple
times with a pistol in the head and possibly the
back.
2:17 EMTs were unable to revive the victim.
2:18 [Comment From Guest ]
what is connection between the shooter and the
victim?
2:19 We're writing an updated article with a

this point how or if his financial stress had
anything to do with crime but info is public
record. It is LE's job to report the facts.
2:24 [Comment From SW ]
I know Richard and his family well and am
praying for all them right now, including
Richie. Also keeping the victim and his family
in my prayers. This is an awful tragedy....no
matter what the circumstances, how much
money he owed, etc., he is suspected of a
horrible crime and I feel compelled to pray for
his soul right now.

Interesting to find out if suspect was licensed
to carry a firearm under Georgia law
(16.11.127-129).
2:30 [Comment From Guest ]
@Ashleigh: 2-3 square mile area is a large area
to cover, especially if he knows the area. The
officers are handling the situation
appropriately and with due caution.
2:30 [Comment From LW ]
That is great news.. glad to hear none of our
policemen were injured.
2:30 [Comment From lm ]
was he found?
2:30 The manhunt is still under way.
2:31 [Comment From NHSstudent2 ]
Many students from NHS are getting checked
out, no doc appt notes required.
2:31 [Comment From close2home ]
I pray for all who are involved with this
incident, on both sides. This is an awful
tragedy that strikes a little too close to home
for me and many.
2:31 [Comment From Theresa ]
Man power has nothing to do it. Knowing the
area the way a hunter would know it, the
suspect has the upper hand.
2:31 [Comment From Guest ]
One can only imagine they are trying to
resolve this issue without any more loss
2:32 [Comment From KJ ]
Hey LE --- a sidebar timeline would give
readers a timeline to follow easily PLUS it
would give the LE more clickthroughs
2:32 [Comment From Lynn ]
Prayers go out to all the officers involved in
this situation.
2:33 [Comment From Guest ]
Area of search is wooded with few houses in
area.
2:33 [Comment From Guest ]
So info about a shootout behind Willy T's is
false?
2:33 That's just a rumor
2:33 We're working on more details. Stay tuned. On
the phone with reporters and sources.
2:34 [Comment From Ganole ]
Harris County cleared to release. They must
have got him or hes dead...
2:34 [Comment From AW ]
the authorities are doing the best they can! you
have to take per caution in all aspects of the
situation!
2:35 [Comment From guest ]
what about the press release you talked about
earlier? or was this update it
2:35 We're waiting for information on that
2:36 [Comment From NHSstudent2 ]
There is no way this guy is still in the area if
they have not found him yet.
2:37 [Comment From Null ]
Wonder what makes LEO believe he is
contained. Search area of 2-3 miles sq. equals
about 8-12 miles of perimeter. Large border to
secure, even with avail man power.
2:37 [Comment From Steve-o ]
Does anyone know if they have K-9 units on
site? I would think they would be able to track
down the suspect quickly.
2:37 We are reporting what Mayor Tomlinson told
us.
2:37 We heard K-9 units were on site
2:38 [Comment From bassinround_1 ]
I live within a mile of the area where he is
suspected being. Rainning pretty hard right
now. Will make hunt moe miserable than
before thats for sure. I pray none of the
officiers or the suspect get hurt.
2:38 [Comment From Billy ]
I hope this guy is caught soon
2:38 [Comment From Leslie ]
Can anyone confirm if the suspect has indeed
been shot or killed himself?
2:38 We can't confirm that, Leslie.
2:38 [Comment From Guest ]
Lets just keep everyone in our thoughts and
prayers!!!
2:38 [Comment From hc guest ]
call from HC Schools: Sheriff dept has cleared
all Harris County schools to release as normal.
2:39 [Comment From RM ]
the area also has abandoned older vacant
shacks, he know teh area well i am sure as I
understand he hunted it quite regularly
2:39 [Comment From Billy ]
I hope this guy is caught soon
2:39 [Comment From armrng ]
get em
2:40 [Comment From DD ]
How do you get a comment on here?
2:40 [Comment From guest ]
HC released...but they advised parents to be at
home if you live in the SW corner...that does
not indicate he's caught or dead
2:40 We can't answer all of them. You should see
the screen we are looking at ... the comments
are coming in so fast it's impossible to read all
of them. A lot of people are reading and
commenting.
2:41 [Comment From 6foot6 ]
Im sure the police are doing everything they
can to handle the situation. They are trained
professionals. This guy is in HIS backyard,
probably feeling scared and very defensive. I
have the utmost respect for the guys who put
themselfs in harms way to protect all of us.
2:41 [Comment From Rosie ]
hc can't keep the kids all day - and because
they released that doesnt mean he is dead or
caught...just means its safe for kids to go
home~!
2:41 [Comment From guest33 ]
rumors about a suicide. can you confirm?
2:41 We can't confirm that
2:42 Chief Boren's press conference just ended.
Reporter Alan Riquelmy is on the scene and
will file a report shortly.
2:42 [Comment From RM ]
i say everyone needs to stop listening to
rumors and follow the LE or news
stations......geeesh...if it is not posted on these
sites then it isnt true....the wide spread panic is
unnecessary....the police are doing everything
they can ppl
2:42 [Comment From Guest ]
From Harris County High ". We have just
received word from the Sheriff's office that we
were clear to dismiss. If you live in the
Southwest corner of the county and your child
rides a bus, we encourage you to have
someone home to meet your child."
2:42 [Comment From Guest ]
There is alot of woods i live in that area
2:43 [Comment From Guest ]
i agree...probably long gone from there!!!
2:43 [Comment From Barb C. ]
It is still unbelievable all the rumors that
abound . I feel sure that he is running/hiding in
these woods that he knows so well. I trust in
these well-trained officers and dogs that they
will ultimately find him.
2:43 [Comment From 1234 ]
I agree NHSstudent.
2:43 [Comment From Guest ]
great job LE, no one else has kept up with
ya'll!
2:43 [Comment From Northside Student! ]
Yes, I agree with NHSstudent2. He's most
likely not in Columbus anymore.
2:44 [Comment From :/ ]
wow.. how many has he killed?
2:44 We just know of one victim
2:44 The press conference offered little new details
and confirmed much of what we already have
reported. We will post any new details as soon
as possible.
2:45 We will post full video of the press conference
in the next hour.
2:45 [Comment From Guest ]
they said K-9 and helicopters are there....
2:45 [Comment From Guest ]
Dogs are in the area but rain will not help the
situation.
2:45 [Comment From Null ]
Hunter's build their entire hobby around
eliminating scent. Throwing K9 units at this
man hunt will not be nearly as effective as one
might think.
2:45 Boren said the suspect was armed with either a
long rifle or a shotgun ... they weren't sure.
2:46 From reporter Mike Owen: Police are going to
let families who live in the area stay in their
homes and those who have been kept out will
be allowed to return to their homes.
2:46 [Comment From JUST ME ]
I know for a fact that he can VERY WELL
still be in this area after as few a hours as this.
(someone I know personally ran from the
police at about 9 AM and went through the
woods and wasnt caught till 1:30 AM)
2:47 [Comment From guest33 ]
is the suicide rumor true?
2:47 The suspect is a type-1 diabetic, which means
he needs access to medication. Police have
checked with local doctors and hospitals to see
if he has sought treatment and they said he has
not.
2:48 Chief Boren said there have been several
reports of sightings but none have been
confirmed.
2:48 The suicide story is just a rumor
2:48 [Comment From N Cols Mom ]
L-E, thank you so much for this live feed and
keeping us updated!
2:48 [Comment From NHSstudent2 ]
Im hungry. We've been in a closed room for
almost 7 hours now.
2:48 A quesiton was raised that the suspect had
contacted his wife by cell phone, but said this
only was a rumor.
2:49 [Comment From Rob J ]
Rain is going to make this more difficult. We
should all pray right now for our Officers.
They want this to end without further viloence,
we should pray they get their wish.
2:49 [Comment From Brad ]
I think if he is cornered by Police he'll take his
own life.
2:49 We're working on an update to the main story
... it will be posted ASAP.
2:49 [Comment From Guest ]
rumor has it that he shot someone at Publix...
U heard anything like that?
2:50 That's just a rumor
2:50 [Comment From dadof3 ]
Would YOU want to chase an armed murder
suspect into HIS wooded backyard? God Bless
the CPD!
2:50 [Comment From Guest ]
We live very close to this area and I am
thankful for your updated info as you get it as
this is a scary situation and my daughter's
school is one that is on lockdown
2:50 The Publix rumor is NOT TRUE.
2:50 [Comment From Guest ]
Just a matter of time
2:50 [Comment From Guest ]
I'm on pins and needles hoping he is caught. I
work right outside the containment area.
2:51 [Comment From meg ]
I am sure the police and the dogs are checking
all abandoned shacks and anything else they
see fit to search. All this time and no luck...I
am wondering if he is trully still in the area.
K9 dogs are good at tracking sent...But this
rain is going to make things harder.
2:51 [Comment From Guest ]
Wow, this is such a tragedy and it didn't have
to end like this.
2:51 [Comment From Julie ]
Please remember that real police work is not
like it's seen on TV. Things take time and
require a lot of hard slogging. Thoughts are
with them as they try to bring this to a close
2:52 [Comment From BigDate ]
You are doing a fine job moderating this chat.
Thank you.
2:52 [Comment From MLG ]
I agree with some others, if they have been
focusing on a specific area and have not found
him by now, he's probably not there!
2:52 [Comment From Guest ]
Innocent until proven guilty, Please pray for
the familys
2:52 [Comment From Tammy ]
Please let this man be found asap so our law
enforcement stay safe.

2:57 Yes, the manhunt is still under way
2:57 [Comment From chs student ]

2:57 [Comment From guest ]
thanks guys.....great work!!
2:57 [Comment From karen ]
Great job LE. I have been scanning other sites
and no one has delivered the news as timely
and accurately as your staff on chat line.
2:58 [Comment From Jamie ]
Just because schools are letting out doesn't
mean they've got him. I still hear helicopters.
We are about 1/2 a mile from Lookout Loop.
2:58 [Comment From GUEST ]
people read the updates and articles before
posting questions it will answer many of them!
2:58 He stil is not in custody.
2:58 [Comment From Billy ]
LE, thanks for stepping up and keeping us
posted regarding this matter
2:58 [Comment From guest ]
don't be stupid chs student
2:59 [Comment From KF ]
no you don't want to be on lock down - sounds
like fun and games, but this is very serious and
they only lock down for a reason !
2:59 [Comment From jb ]
you are the most impatient people! how long
did you think this will take? this is not a matter
of running into the woods and slapping cuffs
on someone. This takes time and very
particular attention to detail. relax...let cpd and
swat do their job!
2:59 [Comment From Guest ]
I agree.. Great job to L.E!!!
3:00 [Comment From mss ]
I agree- innocent until proven guilty- I hope
everyone involved is safe as well as the
accused.
3:00 The 3 p.m. update to the main story will be
online shortly.
3:00 [Comment From Runner ]
just how long do your guests think this guy can
run? and if he took the time to pick a new gun
for his get a way then he probably picked up
his meds too and if he collapses from lack of
insulin it makes the CPD task easier for them
3:00 [Comment From Guest ]
thanks for keeping us updated..great jo
3:00 [Comment From KF ]
Great job LE !
3:01 [Comment From guest33 ]
i'm surprised they are letting kids walk home
from school in that area... that seems
dangerous!
3:01 [Comment From LSMOM ]
I agree with Karen & Billy! Thanks for staying
on top of this LE!
3:01 [Comment From :( ]
I'm scared!!
3:01 [Comment From concerned ]
what are the chances that they are going to find
him now? i mean they have been looking for
him within a 2-3 mile radius for 8 hours
3:02 [Comment From Guest ]
Great Job LE, very informative
3:03 [Comment From PM ]
Are they using search dogs?
3:03 Yes, police are using dogs to track the suspect
3:03 [Comment From :( ]
Im so scared!!!
3:03 [Comment From j ]
LE is excellent, only source I can find with
updated information, especially that is being
updated every few minutes. Thank you.
3:04 [Comment From Guest ]
need dog the bounty hunter
3:04 [Comment From Guest ]
While the financial information is an
unnecessary attempt to sway opinion without
knowing the whole story... the LE is doing a
good job keeping the public updated
3:04 [Comment From PB ]
How many ppl have been killed? This is scary!
3:04 We just know of one victim so far
3:04 [Comment From guest ]
people need to quit making up stuff and speak
the facts...not rumors
3:04 [Comment From RACHEL ]
THIS IS TERRIBLE I HAVENT GOT ANY
WORK DONE TODAY.
3:05 [Comment From Old Timer ]
They need to get this man dead or alive. He
poses a threat to us all.
3:05 [Comment From j ]
Point is CPD dont see this often at all! Hope
they have a backup plan!
3:05 [Comment From Scared ]
IM SCARED!!
3:05 [Comment From NPL ]
Great Job LE on the updates!
3:05 [Comment From cw ]
i agree, innocent until proven otherwise, but
running like this sure doesn't look good
3:06 [Comment From Guest ]
you really need to excuse the chs student first
you have no business texing during school
time, this is how information gets twisted.
Second, if you were on lock down they you
would be saying that you wanted to go home.
Which one do you want
3:06 [Comment From dadof3 ]
Kids just got off the bus from North Columbus
Elem. BIG HUGS TODAY! It is definately a
day to count your blessings!
3:07 [Comment From Guest ]
Great Job with everything, LE!!
3:07 [Comment From Guest ]
Heard a rumor that he has already been shot by
the police.
3:07 That's just a rumor
3:07 [Comment From Guest ]
This is the only news site giving correct
information! Thanks, Ledger!
3:08 [Comment From j ]
if he is a competent hunter then chances are
decent he will be able to get out of a familiar
area undetected
3:08 [Comment From Guest ]
I live in the area being searched, I will not
sleep well tonight if he is not found. I know
this is not llike the shootings in AZ, this seems
like a domestic issue. The people in the real
danger is our police this is who we need to be
worried about
3:08 [Comment From guest ]
I agree with guest33 everybody's TRYING to
stay safe...shouldn't let those kids walk. No
way!
3:09 [Comment From TJ ]
Thanks to my Droid, I got notice of this

3:09 [Comment From Guest ]
Thanks for keeping us updated!
3:09 [Comment From carolyn ]
I commend the Ledger Enquirer and the
Columbus Police Dept. for keeping everyone
informed. Hope they find him soon.
3:10 [Comment From DT ]
I never thought I would say this given the LE's
lack of intelectual honesty, slanted journo's,
lack of investigation or even remotely pressing
someone for an answer and total failure to hold
city officials feet to the firse as an investigative
journalist should BUT!!! They have done a
great job on this story!
3:10 [Comment From Guest ]
Why nobody understands what it takes to hunt
someone in the woods armed. Hello this is real
work even for the best in law enforcment.
3:10 [Comment From JM ]
Any word on whether he has already been
shot? I've heard he has been, recently.
3:11 That remains a rumor
3:11 [Comment From KG ]
Northside High School just called and reported
that school will dismiss on time with added
security in the parking lot. All after school
activities are cancelled, except for the
basketball team which is traveling out of town.
3:11 Thanks for the update, KG!
3:11 [Comment From cw ]
cudos LE...great job of sharing just the facts!
3:11 [Comment From Guest ]
No work done here, either!
3:12 [Comment From Guest ]
This area is heavily wooded, it is going to take
a long time for them to find him even with
dogs.
3:12 [Comment From carolyn ]
Thanks for keeping everyone informed LE,

I find it hard to believe he is still in the area?
They been looking for 8-9 hours with all the
resources they have and no sign? The Dogs
can't find him?
3:14 [Comment From Guest ]
I hope they catch him soon!
3:14 [Comment From Guest ]
Why are you scared? This man is in hiding. He
isn't going to give up his hiding place to come
out and shoot YOU.
3:14 [Comment From Billy ]
Glad your kids made it home

I wish THIS was a dream.
3:14 [Comment From 6295 ]
glad to hear your kids are home safe dadof3
3:15 [Comment From Barb C. ]
I disagree with j's comment. We have a very
capable, well-trained police force, SWAT
Team, deputies, as well as Harris County.
They are trained for situations such as this.
3:15 [Comment From guest ]
so there any way this guy could have made it
to the interstate and got a ride??? anyone
thought of that? it's not that far from the
location being hunted.

We really appreciate you updating us while we
are all at work!

everyone. Great job!
3:21 [Comment From HC Update ]
HC Update - This is a follow-up from Michael
Ward, Assistant Superintendent. Your school
was in a high alert and/or lock down mode
today. The lock down was due to a manhunt.
We have just received word from the Sheriff's
office that we were clear to dismiss. If you live
in the Southwest corner of the county and your
child rides a bus, we encourage you to have
someone home to meet your child.
3:21 [Comment From jk ]
thanks LE! doing a great job!
3:22 [Comment From ;/ ]
PEOPLE _ PLEASE READ!!!! They will let

have done a great job at letting us know
something, STOP asking
3:22 [Comment From me ]
STOP asking the same dang questions about
rumors! LE and everyone else will let you
know of major events (found alive, found
dead, killed others, etc)!!!
3:22 [Comment From tracker ]
The dogs are going to have a real hard time
getting on a trail in this weather but one good
thing is foot prints should show up
3:22 [Comment From jk ]
thanks LE for doing a great job!
3:23 [Comment From HardawayFreshman ]
I would say check to see if he has any friends
or family in a 15-mile radius of where yall are
checking and see if he went there.
3:23 [Comment From WC ]
scary and sad. i hope it all ends soon
3:23 [Comment From Ganole ]
The only time anyone should worry is tonight
if he is still not found by night fall.
3:24 [Comment From Shannon ]
The police know what they are doing. They
have thought of everything you have plus

To the guest who said, 'what are you scared of'
to another guest. This guy could be in a very
desperate frame of mind and could be capable
of anything. Plus...he will need medication.
3:25 [Comment From ;/ ]
ugh! Stuck at work, can't wait to get home to
see my babies and comfort them and let them
know that everything is okay and hope that
teaching them to pray when they are sad/scared
helped them through the day.
3:26 [Comment From j ]
I doubt he is hiding in a single spot. If he is
outside, it is more likely he is on the move
looking to get out of the area. This would be a
more likely fit in this situation. This is
someone who fired on police, I doubt they are
cowering under some tree.
3:26 [Comment From guest ]
my son lives up there, i am very happy to find
this page to keep updated here in the south!
3:26 [Comment From Guest ]
If he is type 1 diabetic. He is probably in

he got a ride out of town

Haven't seen any postings lately from the

He's received no new updates.

Throughout the day today, Ledger Enquirer

instrumental in quelling rumors. I applaud you

online as soon as possible.

This is heartbreaking for everyone invovled.
Remember not to judge. This man had a family
and so did the victim. There is way more to the
story than LE or news will ever know. He will
have to stand before GOD and be judged. Not
by us. Please everyone - show love not hate.
