Police are holding a news conference now.

It looks like a pretty big building. Could take a while to clear it.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Yeah, I was thinking earlier it looks like a realy big post office for such a small town.

 

[Starry Night]

By the way.... the nuns in Alabama are at:
http://www.olamshrine.com just click on 'Intercession'....and post your prayer request. If I get kicked off for this then adios......Vaya con Dios......otherwise-see ya soon! Thanks for caring about the world and if I ever (God forbid) need help I will surely turn to this site.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Anybody know where there might be a live feed to presser?
May be over by now, I can't find one.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Thank God this is over, hopefully (once they clear the building). Best news I've heard all day.

Sgt. Mike Conroy says the suspect’s name is Warren “Gator” Taylor, from Sullivan County, Tennessee.

Sgt. Conroy says investigators were able to talk Taylor out by negotiating to release three hostages, but Conroy did not say what Taylor asked for in exchange.

Investigators are intervewing Taylor and the hostages now.

Conroy says several weapons were found inside the post office, but no explosives have been found so far.

Kimberly you rock! Thanks for all the updates dear....

 

[Sharedspirit]

I'm still holding my breath for an all clear. I can't imagine how they talked him out like that.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Yeah, I'm waiting too. And trying to find some info on Mr. Taylor.

 

[Starry Night]

Good night and God Bless.....Merry Christmas! Enjoy your families.....Be safe.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

SAme to you Starry. Nite.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Wish I had middle initial for WT

 

[Sharedspirit]

Night Starry, give those nuns a thank you from me too!

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Picture of Warren Taylor

 

[Kimberlyd125]

There is a 53 year old sex offender from Sullivan County, TN by the same name.
I don't know if it is the same person. Wish I had middle initial. Does anybody recall seeing it anywhere?

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Ok, goodnight all.

 

[Sharedspirit]

I haven't found an initial. I did see the sex offender but have found nothing else. I couldn't get a pic on the sex offender site to come up on my computer.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

I just had to pop back in to check on this thread.

Sharedspirit, I could not find a picture either. But I did just find an article that said Warren "Gator" Taylor is 56. Kinda close in age. Wonder if it could be same guy.
I guess we will not know until we get more info on WT. Birthdate, middle initial, address...something.

Allright...I am going to bed this time.

Nite y'all.
