Am glad to hear there are more responses. (Not the same as "answers," there are few "answers.") I know it's not satisfying, but I hope it's helping that the wheels have turned another step.

I am thinking of you. Newscast clips may be available on TV stations' web sites? If I see anything, I'll send it your way.

There was a spot on NBC's news tonight at 11:00, the online link to the story is here: http://www.nbc4.com/news/10652666/detail.html The online story contains more detail than the spot that aired.

Clip from WJLA is here: http://news.wjla.com/news/stories/0107/384725.html from earlier broadcast tonight.

Dad called and gave us the heads up that it was on.(appearently I missed being interviewed as "concerned neighbor" by seconds. Thankfully) I missed fox, but caught NBC, ABC and CBS (who led with it at 7pm). On the NBC interview, the Alex. County police rep. also said that there are now new policies in place on when off-duty officers can carry and discaharge firearms because of this incedent. Jeff & Cheri did a good job with the interviews, I think the fact that they're being media accesable is helping to keep public intrest. CBS also mentioned the charity.

It doesn't sound like much closure at all. Sorry to hear you're still going through so much crap.

I thought they were originally saying there was no policy violation? Well at least there's a policy that's more public now. Criminy. Sorry it's not more.
