Capt. Spirlet Quotations

Our main focus right now is to get the individual who did this. That is what we're focusing on. We just want to get that individual. We feel he is a threat, a definite threat, out there.

If all the bars in the city were that quiet, we'd be great.

Depending on their involvement when they knew, what they did, accessory before the fact, it can become a principal, say somebody gave him a ride there, they are just as guilty as him going inside and doing that.

He's definitely considered armed and dangerous and has extremely violent tendencies.

We didn't want an unsuspecting police officer to walk up to him in a traffic and get shot and killed. We tried the best that we could, but I guess we did not try hard enough.

My gut feeling, I thought that he was going to stay closer in this area. But you still can't throw away any facts that he could have the probability of going down there. So, we were playing both leads all the time. Who knows where he was going. I think a lot of that stuff will come out in the investigation as we backtrack.
