Bus driver falls prey
to sniper’s 13th attack!
ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) —
A bus driver was shot to death
Tuesday as he was about to set
out on his morning route in what
authorities fear was the 13th
attack by the Washington-area
sniper. Police also revealed a
chilling warning found at a
weekend shooting scene: ‘“Your
children are not safe anywhere
at any time.”
Conrad Johnson, 35. was
fatally wounded just before 6
a.m. as he stood on the top step
of his bus, setting off a police
dragnet and snarling traffic in the
suburbs north of the nation’s cap
ital. He died later at a hospital.
The shooting happened in
Aspen Hill, the same community
where the shootings began. Since
Oct. 2, the sniper has killed nine
people and critically wounded
three others in Maryland.
Virginia and Washington.
The slaying came after two
days of public entreaties by
police for the sniper to contact
them.
Montgomery County Police
Chief Charles M oose suggested
Tuesday police had received a
new message from the killer,
and he said authorities were
preparing a response. He
refused to disclose details about
the message, believed to be the
fourth authorities have received
during the investigation.
The warning about children’s
safety was discovered by police
outside a steakhouse just north
of Richmond. Va.. where the
sniper critically wounded a man
Saturday night.
Moose said the warning
came in the form of a "post
script,” but refused to describe
the rest of the note.
However, a senior law
enforcement official speaking to
The Associated Press on condi
tion of anonymity said the note
demanded $10 million.
More than 140.000 students
in the Richmond area remained
home Tuesday as schools were
closed for a second day. School
officials cited information from
police in shutting down,
prompting questions for
Moose, whose office is leading
the sprawling investigation.
Moose said investigators rec-

NEW YORK (AP) — America Online is
launching a new Internet-safety campaign for kids
built around an automated “buddy” that dispenses
advice on the spot.
Kids can add “AOLSafetyBot” to their buddy
lists of friends on AOL Instant Messenger. It is
programmed to answer, within seconds, such
questions as whether kids should agree to meet
ings with online acquaintances or reveal such per
sonal information as their address and age.
Some experts wonder, however, whether a
scripted program can work adequately in the
online world, given the wide age range of com
puter users and their parents’ different prefer
ences.
The SafetyBot campaign is being launched
Wednesday. People who do not use AOL’s instant
messaging software can also find the SafetyBot
buddy on AOL’s SafetyClicks.com site.
Automated instant-messaging buddies, or bots.
are not new, but past ones have been mostlydevj
ed to marketing and promotions.
AOL’s instant-messaging software is the ms
popular on the Internet, with more than ISOitfj
lion registered users.
According to a 2(XX) study by Crimes Agami
Children Research Center at the University i
New' Hampshire, one in five youths ages lOtolj
received unwanted sexual solicitations overikl
Internet within the year. Only a quarter of tal
told a parent. f
Parry Aftab, a leading Internet-safety expail
applauded AOL’s efforts to make learning ato|
safety fun.
“The kids will play with it. and if theyjij
with it, maybe they will learn something,’ ‘
said. But she cautioned that conect answersr
depend on age and other factors.
“There is not always one clear answefi |
