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

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
