Found this report on the Wusa site. Maybe a break in the case:

First Major Clue in Sniper Attacks
by Mike Buchanan and 9 News
9 News has learned that police have their first major clue in the manhunt for
the sniper who has killed six people and wounded two.

The killer left a calling card. It was found not far from where a 13-year-old
boy was shot and critically wounded Monday morning at Benjamin Tasker
Middle School in Bowie, Maryland.

In a nearby wooded area, detectives found the spot where the sniper
apparently waited in ambush. The grass was matted down, a shell casing was
found and, law enforcement sources say, investigators found a message
from the gunman to the Police.

It was written on a Tarot Card, an ancient method of fortune telling. The
cards are supposed to help people look into the future.

You might remember the cards were used in one of the old James Bond
movies, 'Live and Let Die.'

They're are 78 cards in a Tarot deck. Near the Middle School Monday, Prince
George's County detectives found one card - the Death Card.

Law enforcement sources say there was a message scribbled on the card. It
read; 'Dear Policeman, I am God.'

According to a history of Tarot cards, 'The Death Skeleton' comes to all: child,
father, mother, king and priest.'

The Sniper has killed six people and wounded two.

The child, who was wounded Monday, is in critical, but stable condition.

Of the six who were killed, four were men and two were woman.

When contacted by 9-News, Prince George's County police issued a statement saying, "We're are not
commenting on any potential evidence that may have been located."

Tuesday, police returned to at least one of the other crime scenes searching once again for any evidence
left behind by the killer.

Thanks for posting that article..very informative..

Wow, this is big news.

Now that you mention it, there did seem to be a flurry of activity around that crime scene that I thought superceded a spent casing. Wonder how WUSA found this out.

Hey, don't forget where you HEARD it FIRST!
OReilly, do you remember my question about the new sony playstation game NAVY:socom Seals??? Apparently a type of SNIPER game which is VERY intense and addictive!
In the movie "Navy Seals", the sniper's nickname was
"God"...(Pete mentioned this)
