9. This will end and that will be that. I think they're about to go in and get the guy.

This is just a drug nut with roid rage--it's not really a "national" story. It is unusual because this kind of thing doesn't happen in small town New England. The human interest aspect--the poor chief getting killed a week before retirement--is sad, but this will not hold the nation's attention. Once the guy is arrested or killed, that will draw a line under the story. The chief's funeral will likely be covered and aired on TV in northern NE, anyway.

The police helicopter -- which had been flying "dark" w/ no lights on -- has switched on its lights and can be seen now.

Hard to say what it means but for the first time the police helicopter has its lights on.

I do not know the answer to that either. MADem Apr 2012 #19
