shotguns on duty.
5.What else was found at the maintenance yard scene? What subject were
they referring to?
6.What is the connection between the two incidents?
7.What happened in the arson? What was damaged?
Suggested tools for further researching this issue and sharing/discussing your
findings with others (assign as in-class project or homework):
·
From the information you’ve read, do you believe one or more people are involved
in these crimes? Do you believe that the random shooting was linked to the
arson site? Why or why not?
·
What do you “infer” about the question regarding, “if a warning about the Oct.
22 bombings had been released to officers.” Do you think all officers were
notified? How could this situation have been handled differently?
·
The assailant’s vehicle is described as a small late-1970s, mid-1980s or
early-1990s two-door sedan, silver or beige and perhaps an import. Will this
help the police at all? How can they start to refine their search? If you were
on the team, what would you suggest?
·
“The Times is withholding the precise description of the car at the request of
the Police Department, which said it would release details if the car is not
located.” Do you think the police should give out all information or keep some
private, in order to find dangerous criminals?
