I agree and thought the same thing.  Go ahead and post a couple of extra officers for security if you feel strong about it but whatever you do, don't stop educating children. 

How many kids get the best or even only meals at school, how many will be left home alone today, how many kids is the best part of their life the time away from home and at school?

Schools can all afford OT for a couple of days to pay off duty officers to supplement their SROs.

Covid made canceling school too easy.

You are describing a dependency issue that should never happen in America.  If you are not properly taking care of your child you should be in front of a judge explaining why.  But that horse has left the barn and now we use it to justify more stupidity. 

Right, the expenses are a nothing burger and COVID (and the response) messed up a lot of good things. 

Press conference this afternoon at 3 pm. Hopefully this will calm everyone down for the most part. 

Sheriff's Department released an affidavit that states among other things he said that when he was done he was going to kill himself. 

Now offering $10,000 reward for info leading to Couch.

Just for some perspective.

The shaded area, which is the area being searched is roughly 28,000 acres according to Google Earth. The perimeter of that area is around 28 miles.

To be clear, that is not a knock on law enforcement whatsoever. With the terrain, the interstate, trains, etc that is a daunting task. 

I feel like the longer it goes, the less likely it is that he's still in that area. 

That area is unreal. It has cliffs, caves, you name it. It's very rough terrain. He's probably hiding in a cave.

I feel he has taken his last shot, from what the media has stated.

This gives a good feel for what that general area is like.

 

I saw someone bring up an interesting point on Twitter...

What if he had an accomplice, a driver, and immediately fled the area via car. He could be LONG gone by now. 

Just started listening to scanner app.

It sounds like he may have shot someone in the woods then ran off. Officers heard 2nd shot a little later. He may have unalived himself.

You mean a new shooting right now meaning the manhunt is back on with a location to work from?

Nevermind, this is a separate incident it sounds like. Someone else shot someone. 

New shooting was in neighboring County, it was not the I75 shooter.

New shooter is 10-15.
