#6  Local stories say Wisconsin Department of Justice.
Out of state plates, erratic behavior, no name yet (?!)

#5  DOJ involvement seems premature but perhaps protocol triggered at SWAT roll-out to a school location?

Post mission AAR?

#4  Incident occurred around 7PM, and started in parking lot and migrated to the roof. Never inside the school where students were involved in after-hours activities. Few additional facts available, but not a hostage or school invasion scenario, perhaps because of prompt LE reaction? DOJ involvement seems premature but perhaps protocol triggered at SWAT roll-out to a school location?

#2  Must be a "manifesto" that needs suppressed...

#1  The DOJ's Division of Criminal Investigation launched an investigation into the shootout.

Why? It's a local issue. Another pawn of the FBI?
