ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) — One of the
six people killed in a suburban Washington
shooting spree was buried Sunday as inves
tigators completed a geographic profile they
hope will help lead them to the killer.
Police also were awaiting an FBI psy
chological profile of the shooter,
Montgomery County Police Chief Charles
Moose said. The geographic profile maps
the crime locations to possibly determine
where the killer lives.
Moose said investigators were making
progress, but added, “Some of the more
desirable smoking gun leads just aren’t
there.”
While the search continued, family and
friends gathered to bury Prem Kumar
Walekar, a taxi driver slain Thursday at an
Aspen Hill gas station.
Nieces and nephews sang songs and
remembered a man they called “Prem
Uncle” while standing under a video screen
that flashed snapshots from his life.
Walekar, 54, was remembered as quiet,
funny, generous and caring, a man who
showed his affection with a gentle pinch of
a child’s cheek.
Walekar was one of five people shot to
death at random in Montgomery County in a
16-hour span Wednesday and Thursday. A
sixth victim was killed Thursday in
Washington, D.C.
Tests conducted by the Bureau ot
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms confirmed
that the same weapon was used to kill
Walekar and three other victims.
Investigators said Sunday that ballistics
evidence also linked the shooting of a 43-
year-old woman in Spotsylvania County,
Va., on Friday with the Maryland murders.
She was shot in the back in a parking lot at
a Michael’s craft store about 2:30 p.m. in
Fredericksburg, Va.
She was in stable condition Sunday at
INOVA Fairfax Hospital.
A window of a Michael’s store in
Montgomery County was shot out 45 min
utes before the first killing, but AT F agent
Michael Bouchard said Sunday that a bullet
obtained from that scene was too badly dam
aged to be of any use in the investigation.
Tests were still under way to determine
any links to the other fatal shootings, both in
Montgomery County, on the outskirts of
Washington. But Moose said Sunday he sus
pects all the shootings are linked.
No arrests have been made in the spree. A
33-year-old Maryland man was being held
on an unrelated charge, but Moose
that the man was not a suspect in the
and no weapons were found with him *

there’s a high risk of a smallpox attack, it makes more sense to vac
cinate only if someone becomes infected. It recommends first vac
cinating people closest to the infected patient, then others will
whom those people and the patient may have come in contact.
A similar strategy of “ring vaccination” in the 1960s and 1W
eradicated smallpox worldwide, the academy said, noting thattlK
last known case occurred in 1977 in Somalia.
The United States discontinued routine childhood immunization
against smallpox in 1972.
Potential vaccine side effects range from severe rashes to
encephalitis and death.
If all Americans are vaccinated, the incidence of severe reaction
likely would be higher than in the past because there maybe
people with ailments such as HIV infections that make them
vulnerable, the policy says.
New virus Bugbear infect
computers all over world
NEW YORK (AP) — An e-
mail-borne computer virus that
lets hackers control infected
machines remotely continues to
spread and constitutes the most
severe attack this year, experts
say.
The worm, known as
W32.Bugbear, or I-
Worm.Tanatos, infects comput
ers that use Microsoft’s
Windows operating systems. It
was first spotted a week ago and
has spread to dozens of coun
tries.
Once a machine is infected, a
hacker could steal and delete
information from it.
Some subject lines for the e-
mail are “bad news,”
Membership Confirmation,”
Market Update Report,” and
“Your Gift.”
The worm replicates itself
through a Windows machine’s
e-mail address book and can
attach itself to previously sent e-
mail messages. It also can
spread through network systems
and can allow hackers to
cept passwords and gain acC
