Call me stupid but I never had to use a passport to get into Canada but that was 20 years ago. Have things changed?

I don't believe you need a passport to get into Canada now, just a photo id. You need a passport to come back into the USA.

If he was shot in the abdoman then it has to be superficial to some extent. If the bullet hit a vital organ he would have bled to death by now or be in such rough shape he coudn't travel. MO of course since I am not a medical person.

Perhaps someone on the forum who knows about gunshot wounds could check in and give their opinion.

Tricia

I agree 100%. Unfortunately it could have been a flesh wound, grazing or could be embedded in his abdomen. Until he is found there is no way to know.

I hope they punish the people who aided him to the full extent of the law. This would be valid unless the person was threatened with harm or held against their will of course.

It is amazing that a person would commit a crime like this, but even more amazing that anyone, family, friend or acquaintance would help this criminal. I just don't understand why anyone (including family) would post bail for this monster. I hope the person who did, will be able to live with the fact that that act has caused these deaths, leaving 9 children without one of their parents, unending grief, and a community scarred and battered!

The initial call that they are still working on came from Pac. med. ctr., reporting man in Doctor Jose Rizal Park (The Jungle), also in the Internat'l Bus. area. Haven't heard if he actually was in the med.ctr at any point

The photo at the above link almost made me cry. This is absolutely horrible I can't imagine what these families are going through.

I am still hung up on the fact that someone paid his bail of $15,000 (right?) and has driven him around the city. Taken with the info that he believes he's Jesus, is predicting the world is ending, and has relatives undress and dance in front of him....I think this is more than a single crazy guy on the loose. We haven't read much at all about family, have we? I know he was headed to an aunt's home. Has it been determined that she's OK and is not aiding him? How about kids? Didn't someone post about children? I find it hard to believe that a single man who's gut shot can elude 1000s of LE without some help. I'm very worried that he's not a lone wolf. JMO

per police scanner, they are clearing out media in area, also checking Salvation Army on Maynard (same area), also known as William Booth Ctr., for transients

I'm pretty sure his bail was $150,000 and HE paid $15,000 of it. Someone put up the rest.
