Urban Legend or Truth?

[txtxyeha]

Heard 3rd hand this morning that:

1) Snipers have been patrolling the roof of the Dell executive building on 360, and
2) Large amounts of fertilizer have been stolen from a Georgetown feed store.

Could someone please call ******** or at least clarify these things?

It wasn't just 300+ pounds of ammonium nitrate that was stolen. The documents necessary to transport it across state lines are missing as well.

Haven't heard anything about about snipers on the roof of the Dell executive building, though.

I started this, I might as well finish it:

AMERICAN-STATESMAN The Link
Thursday, September 12, 2002

GEORGETOWN -- After a delay in the investigation, Williamson County officials late Wednesday arrested a man in connection with Monday's theft of 330 pounds of explosives. The explosives have not yet been recovered; however, after questioning the man arrested, a sheriff's office spokeswoman said, the sheriff thinks he knows where they are. The sheriff thinks the theft was a "local job."

Just heard on the news that the missing nitrate was an accounting error. Apparently there is nothing missing, but there was a break in, and have someone in custody for that. Sorry I don't have a link. It was breaking news at 5:00.
