Career Center Texas A&M University Monday, October 21, 2002 NEWS THE BATTAli Authorities believe Washington-area sniper maj have left message at scene of Virginia shootin ASHLAND, Va. (AP) — Authorities believe the Washington-area sniper left a message with a telephone num ber at the scene of the latest shooting in Virginia, The Associated Press learned Sunday. Police appealed to the person who left the message to contact them. “To the person who left us a message at the Ponderosa last night. You gave us a telephone number. We do want to talk to you. Call us at the number you provided. Thank you,” Montgomery County, Md., Police Chief Charles Moose said in a televised briefing. Moose, leader of the task force investigating 1 1 sniper shootings in the Washington area, refused to elaborate, or take questions about the mes sage or how it was left. But he asked the news media to “carry it clearly and carry it often.” After the briefing. Officer Joyce Utter, spokeswoman for Montgomery County police, said Moose’s statement “should make complete sense” to the person who left the message. “That is the only person Chief Moose wants to talk to,” she said. A law enforcement source close to the investigation said the person who left the mes sage at the steakhouse in Ashland is probably the sniper who is responsible for the shootings that have left nine dead since Oct. 2. In the latest shooting, a 37-year-old man was shot and critically wound ed in the parking lot Saturday night. The victim, hit by a single shot in the abdomen, went back into surgery Sunday night ii To the person who left us a message. Call us at the number you provided Thank you. — Charles Moose Montgomery County, MD., Police Chief to re-connect his stomach and intestines, hospital spokes woman Pam Lepley said. “If there’s any good news it’s that he was stable enough to be taken into surgery,” Lepley said. She said surgery began at 6:50 p.m. Sunday, but could not say how long it would take. Earlier Sunday, investiga tors said they were acting on the assumption that the Washington-area sniper has expanded his geographic range as they searched for clues out side the Ponderosa. After finishing the search investigators said little about what, if anything, they had found. Some witnesses said they heard a shot coming from a wooded area near the restaurant, but nobody reported seeing the shooter. If the shooting is linked to the sniper attacks, it would be the first weekend attack and the far thest the sniper has traveled — about 85 miles south of Washington. The longest previous distance from the Washington area was Spotsylvania County, about 50 miles south of Washington. It would also break the longest lull between shootings, about five days. Former FBI profiler Clinton Van Zandt said Saturday’s shoot ing, if related, could show the killer’s approach is changing in response to law enforcement tac tics. For instance, reports last week that military surveillance planes would be used in the Washington suburbs probably prompted the sniper to move far ther away, he said. And since much had been made about the weekend lulls, “I think he reacted to that,” Van Zandt said. The most recent shooting con- firmed sniper attack was the Monday night slaying of FBI analyst Linda Franklin outside a Cc Cadet. A ggies lovi virtue ot believe tf 1 what student uni like.
