Montgomery (AL)/Montgomery (County, MD)
Washington (State)/Washington, DC
Tacoma (WA)/Takoma Park (Montgomery County, MD)

The CNN guy, maybe Wolf Blitzer himself, just asked the police chief
in Montgomery AL whether he thought there was a connection, and the
latter didn't seem to understand the question.
