Swift st?

 

[STEADFAST]

Guy in chopper says scene is hard to get close to -- very near the airport with planes taking off and landing. Duplex looks like mid-century kind of house. South side of street. I have not been able to catch the street name for some reason.

You are appreciated.

Killings mark 4th mass murder in state since 2004 (Journal Sentinel)

People just outside of the evacuated zone are being told to stay inside.
Sources tell news (WITI) that the suspect is from out of state.

Swift st. Assembly of god on somers is where media is supposed to meet

 

[STEADFAST]

3700 block of Holmes Ave. according to WITI. (This is as close as you can get to the airport runways!)

The shooter had a 9/11 tattoo? Oh no, I hope he didn't mistakenly blame the Sikhs for that tragic massacre. They had nothing to do with that/

Holmes??

 

[STEADFAST]

Holmes??

Yes. It's the next street south of Somers where the media is supposed to meet.

 

[STEADFAST]

Area around Holmes and Kirkwood evacuated first.l

Yes. It's the next street south of Somers where the media is supposed to meet.

Actually I thought it was odd because that is the last name of the batman premiere shooter.

Hadn't thought of that! The duplex is on 3700 block of East Holmes Ave. I saw an aerial shot of it and almost posted a street view but then thought what if that's not the house after all??? That would be awful for the innocent people living there.

Here's some info about the neighborhood where they are searching. The gunman just moved in recently, according to reports.

High-ranking members of the Sikh community tell WITI that two of the dead were the Sikh equivalent of priests.

I don't know if the tattoo info has been confirmed as of yet.
I think someone who was interviewed said they were told that by someone related to the interviewee.

Not sure how accurate that info may or may not be.

I'm sure we will here about it soon if he did in fact have a 9/11 tattoo.

That info was second or third hand. Interviewee had a friend who says he was a witness.

MJS has updated its account of the Cudahy search, with this among several new details:

A military-style Humvee with FBI markings on the side of it moved up the street shortly After 6 p.m. with its lights flashing, moving along the west end of the block.. There is a lot of activity including officers in military gear.
