3. Great publicity on the "Amber Alert"

TV, Radio, road signs. I'm impressed. I've got my doors locked, too. This guy is a maniac.

6. heyo...sounds good to me

glad they are ok but she looks totally freaked in the shot on the site...I will withdraw my CNN criticism

TheProdigal <---sheepish apology to all CNN-o-philes

[Heyo]

13. right on..

Just calling it like I see it.. I didn't see the picture but I dont doubt you saw a picture of her NOT smiling... considering what they've seen.. apparently some of them witnessed the homicides..

thank God they are safe...

Apparently dad shot himself in the face, but is barely alive...

Apparently one of the girls was covered in blood from him shooting himself...

It's really sad when people go off their rocker like that...

It brings back memories of that guy in the mirror with the video camera recoding his suicide note right before he shot up that Wendy's (or was it a McDonalds?)... that scenario when people just lose it and go on a mission like this to take it out on everyone.. sad especially for the 10 month old baby.

regards all,
-Heyo

7. Thank every good force in the universe...

I live in Georgia, so of course the local news has been all over this. Very glad the girls are safe.

[DemoTex]

8. What? Safe?

Rescued? What? I'm in the sticks and have not heard.

[Disandra]

9. The girls are safe.

Apparently what happened was the guy was spotted right over the Tennesee border and was pursued by police. He shot himself but the girls are just fine.

[DemoTex]

10. Thanks

Bizarre. I can unlock my doors now.

[Disandra]

12. No problem.

And yeah...we've all been crowding around the television and made sure to lock up our cars on the way home.

11. The father is still alive, according to the news on right now

I think the Amber alert is a great thing.

[Fleshdancer]

14. I agree. The Amber alert is a wonderful thing.

I'm relieved the girls are okay. May they get all the help and love they need to get through this.

15. This disturbs me

"As they pursued Jones, a Georgia State Patrol car bumped the SUV, causing it to spin out on the rain-slicked road and slam into a telephone pole. "

Excuse me, they KNEW that four girls were in the SUV, and they caused it to spin out of control and crash into a telephone pole!??!? What the fuck?!?!

[Renew Deal]

16. MSNBC just took it back. Not dead!!!

12:19 EST

Not a joke

[Fleshdancer]

17. WHAT!!!???!! The man isn't dead?

I thought he shot himself in the face for cryin' out loud! How can he not be dead???
