Latest shot fired on
Ohio highway linked
to series of shootings
By Jonathan Drew
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The
day after the chief investigator
said authorities were closing in
on a serial highway shooter, a
man stood in plain view on an
overpass and fired a handgun at
cars below. He then walked to
his car and slipped into traffic.
Ballistics testing has con-
finned that the Saturday morn
ing shooting was the 24th in a
series in the Columbus area,
investigators said Sunday. No
one was injured in that shooting.
The bullet recovered from
the battery of a sport utility
vehicle struck on Interstate 70
matches eight others recovered
during the investigation, includ-
ing the one that killed a woman
in November, according to a
release. The others have been
linked by factors including
location and circumstances.
Experts said the shooter is
becoming bolder after evading
capture for three months, when
authorities first established a
pattern in the shootings.
“He’s sending a message
to police: ‘You’re not as close
as you think you are. I can
shoot in broad daylight, and
you still won’t find me,”’ said
Jack Levin, a criminologist
and director of the Brudnick
Center on Violence at
Northeastern University.
On Friday, Franklin County
Chief Deputy Steve Martin said
he felt confident in the investi
gation’s progress.

CROCKETT, Texas — A cheeseburger and french fries.
Ik's what more Texas inmates facing execution request as a last
fal tfian any other, says Brian Price, who prepared 220 final meals in
ieHuntsville prison kitchen while serving 14 years there himself.
Steak, ice cream and fried chicken are popular ux). Vegetables?
Sol so much, although one inmate wanted fried squash, fried egg
plant, mashed potatoes, snap peas, boiled cabbage, com on the cob,
ipinach and cheese-covered broccoli with his chicken.
Price provides 42 jailhouse recipes and details on the inmates’
cranes in "Meals to Die For,” a more than 500-page cookbook com
ing out in March. Paige Corp. of San Antonio, whose president is
FrankWesch, Price’s nephew, is the publisher.
Some folks think I’m poking fun at a serious and solemn subject,"
said Price, who was paroled last year after serving time on a pair of con
victions related to the abduction of his brother-in-law and a sexual
issaiooan ex-wife. “My intention is not to offend anyone.”
But with recipes with names such as Gallows Gravy, Rice Rigor

NEWS IN BRIEF
Gas prices climb
at the pump
CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) —
Retail gasoline prices continue to
climb at the nation’s pumps, rising
more than 17 cents a gallon since
late December, according to a
study released Sunday.
Gas prices for all grades rose 3.61
cents in the past weeks to a nation
al average of $1.68 per gallon,
according to the Lundberg Survey
of 8,(XX) stations.
Industry analyst Trilby
Lundberg said several factors
were responsible for the hike,
including OPEC’s decision to
cut oil production by 1 million
barrels a day beginning April 1.
The rate of increase was slow
ing, compared to the past period,
but Lundberg said there is no indi
cation “prices have peaked or will
fall anytime soon."
Afghan raids net
three arrests
“He'sascum-sucking bottom-feeder." said Dianne CJemenf.s, pre.vi-
teofiheHouston-based Justice For All, a victims’ rights group. She
ihiceis trying to profit from crime at the expense of victims.
Phcesaidhis book is as much about prison experiences as it is food.
There’s a fascination with death, the macabre, a curiosity of the
taside," he said. "There’s no way to get around it.”
Until December, every item requested in a last meal since Texas
resumed capital punishment in 1982 was listed on the state
Department of Criminal Justice’s Internet site. That was 313 meals
Mil the site was updated and the listing eliminated because officials
said they’d received complaints from people who found it offensive.
“The subject of last meals is one that seems to captivate the pub
ic,” department spokeswoman Michelle Lyons said. Price will
‘definitely find an audience in chronicling his years as the preparer
of all the last meals.”
Price’s recollections draw from the prison system’s online
itcords of death row inmates and are embellished with entries he
made in a personal journal during his years in prison. He also
Eludes in the book copies of some of the handwritten notes
mmates submitted requesting their final meals.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) —
American forces backed by
warplanes sealed off two vil
lages in southern Afghanistan
and detained two terror sus
pects Sunday, while Afghan
police and NATO-led troops in
Kabul made one arrest and
seized arms and terror-related
material in another raid.
As many as 60 U.S. soldiers
supported by warplanes
sealed off a pair of villages
Sunday in southern Helmand
province and detained two
men — Mulvi Abdul Ghafar
and Gul Agha — suspected of
ties to top Taliban commander
Mullah Dadullah, local district
