UPDATE 9pm 9/2:

The Times Standard is reporting:
Mendocino Sheriff’s Capt. Kurt Smallcomb said deputies are conducting some follow up investigations in Southern Humboldt, but there is no confirmation that shooting suspect Aaron Bassler may have been in Humboldt.
“We don’t know that for sure,” Smallcomb said Friday, adding that they are continuing to actively search for Bassler in Mendocino County.
The interviews were conducted in areas around Whitethorn and Shelter Cove.

One should still be alert. He may very well make it up here, especially out on the coast.

Still, I’m so glad that there is no immediate threat. People were rushing to pick up kids at bus shelters etc.
