Sniper: Your children are Not Safe Anywhere at Any TimeOctober 22, 2002
By Stephen Manning
ROCKVILLE, Md. –– Hours after a bus driver was killed in a shooting that appeared to be the work of the Washington-area sniper, police said Tuesday they received a message warning: "Your children are not safe anywhere at any time."
The chilling warning apparently was discovered by police Saturday night at the scene of a shooting outside a Virginia steakhouse. Police said in came in the form of a "postscript."
Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose also said police "will be responding soon" to the latest message and did not take any questions from the media.
On Monday, police asked the shooter to call them, saying investigators had received a message too muddled to understand.
Early Tuesday, bus driver Conrad Johnson, 35, was fatally wounded as he prepared for his morning bus route in nearby Aspen Hill, the suburban Washington community where the shootings began Oct. 2. In all, 12 people have been shot by the sniper in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.; three were critically wounded.
Johnson, a father of two, was shot as he stood at the top of the steps of the bus shortly before 6 a.m.
Moose has now used four briefings to communicate directly with the person believed to be the sniper.
