ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Lessons learned from the Washington-area sniper shootings helped Phoenix authorities track down the two men arrested in connection with a series of similar killings that terrorized residents for the past year.

"What they've developed from [the D.C. sniper case], we've been garnering that information," said Sgt. Andy Hill, a spokesman for the Phoenix Police Department. "You have to learn from those other things. And I'm sure that after these cases, others will learn and glean from what we did."

Police on Aug. 3 arrested Dale Hausner, 33, and Samuel Dieteman, 30, in connection with 37 random shootings that killed seven and injured 17 in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

In the 2002 sniper spree, John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were linked to 13 shootings, including 10 fatal, in the D.C. area. Muhammad, 45, was found guilty of several of the murders and has received the death penalty. Malvo, 21, was also found guilty of murder and is serving a life sentence."
