NEW INFORMATION ON THE STORY AS IT DEVELOPS IN THE LIVE CENTER TIME. ALL RIGHT, MARK, THANK YOU. >> NO SUSPECTS NAMED YET, EVEN THOUGH MULTIPLE SEARCH WARRANTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN THE ATTACK ON THE MOORE COUNTY POWER GRID WITH SEARCH WARRANTS ISSUED, WE WANTED TO FIND OUT WHAT'S LIKELY TO COME NEXT IN THIS INVESTIGATION.
