Police searching for shooting suspect in Warwick - phillyBurbs.com : Courier Times: crime, doylestown, shooting,

SWAT is still searching. I hate the term "person of interest", as it has no legal definition. Someone is a witness or a suspect, or where a grand jury is concerned there is are also statuses of under investigation, information, or indictment.

No contact with suspect for approx 6 hrs, multiple tactical personnel searching area. Road bocks up along York Road in Bucks Co. State Police SERT personnel reported to be particpating in search of area as well.

Situation ended with suspect (or perpetrator, if you prefer, at this point) found dead from a self-inflicted wound. Some media outlets were intelligent enough not to use the questionable and legally undefined term "person of interest."

What's your point? I was typing on the fly, going with what dispatch said, while operating 3 other radios and sending weather updates to NWS during a hurricane. Dispatchers make mistakes, and so do the rest of us.
