More from

ROCKVILLE, Md. — In the end, one of the men arrested in connection with the sniper shootings may have given investigators their best clue.
An ominous call to the sniper task force tip line urged authorities to check out an incident in "Montgomery," triggering an investigative chain that led to the capture of two men, a law enforcement source told The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity.
The call led investigators from Montgomery, Ala., to Tacoma, Wash., to a darkened rest stop off I-70 in Frederick County, Md., where the two men were taken into custody.
Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright said a caller to the tip line apparently claimed responsibility for both the sniper shootings and a liquor store robbery in his city in which one woman was killed and another wounded.
Bright said the caller told the tip line representative to contact Montgomery officials if they didn't believe he was responsible for the sniper shootings, which began Oct. 2 and have resulted in 10 deaths.
While reviewing recent shootings in Montgomery, investigators zeroed in on a shooting outside a state liquor store on Sept. 21.
Montgomery Police Chief John Wilson said Thursday that the gun used in Alabama was not the same as the one in the Washington, D.C.-area shootings.
But the law enforcement source told the AP that police found a piece of paper at the scene that bore the fingerprints of John Lee Malvo, one of the men wanted for questioning in connection with the serial shootings.
Police traced Malvo, 17, to a rental home in Tacoma where he once lived with a former soldier named John Allen Muhammad. Muhammad, also known as John Allen Williams, has been identified in several news reports as Malvo's stepfather.
In Tacoma, neighbors told investigators that the former tenants had taken target practice in the backyard.
Pfc. Chris Waters, a Fort Lewis soldier who lives across the street, said he called police after hearing gunshots nearly every day in January.
"It sounded like a high-powered rifle such as an M-16," he said. "Never more than three shots at a time. Pow. Pow. Pow."
FBI agents swept the backyard with metal detectors before carting away a tree stump and other evidence in a U-Haul truck. The stump may have been used for target practice and was being taken to a federal lab for ballistics tests.
Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose announced shortly after midnight Thursday that Muhammad was wanted for questioning in connection with the sniper spree, calling him "armed and dangerous." The chief also complied with a curious request by the sniper to say: "We have caught the sniper like a duck in a noose."
The noose tightened at 1 a.m., when witnesses at the Maryland rest stop called police after they spotted the men sleeping inside one of the cars sought in the investigation — a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice.
The sniper task force swept in and arrested the men without a struggle.
This will be the picture the lefty press runs from now on. He's definitely a family guy.
I think these two had a somewhat different relationship than a father and son. More like a "daddy" and his "boy" as they call them in a certain community. It will be interesting to see if these two, who are obviously members of a couple of communities that typically vote Demo, are also members of an additional Demo community.
Didn't I hear that this was the son of Mohammed's live-in girlfriend? I thought Islam frowned upon decadent Western sex outside marriage?
Islam. The Religion of Purity. And Peace. And Honor.
