#1 On a fluke. Cops questioned him about sleeping in his car, but missed the small hole in the trunk where the rifle barrel protruded.

They weren't caught on a fluke. The investigation tied JAM to shootings in another state, they were able to identify him, and determine what kind of car he was driving, and put out a BOLO. This BOLO was broadcast nationwide. A truck driver at a rest area spotted the vehicle, in which JAM and LBM were sleeping. They called in the SWAT team and sprung on them while they were still sleeping at the rest area. This was good, solid investigative work that paid off...not a fluke.

#2 Technically, the 2002 snipers weren't locals. They came to town from Washington State specifically to terrorize JAM's ex-wife. And no, I'm not too happy about a reprise. Didn't like looking over my shoulder at gas stations four years ago, don't wanna go through it again. Plus it gives more ammo to the gun-grabbers.

#3 Friend of mines father somehow got a bullet hole through his engine block while driving on the freeway. This year in Southern California.

Could have been a stray gang-banger bullet for all I know, still it's a scary thought.

#4 Sorry, Mcsegeek...I musta swallowed the MSM version. I believe you are correct, but he was also questioned and released. That's the part the MSM would've liked....
