Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, June 16 (UPI) -- One of two men convicted of sniper killings in the Washington area told authorities the two shot four people police hadn't known about, it was reported.
Citing a source familiar with the case, The Washington Post reported that Lee Boyd Malvo told officials this spring that he and John Allen Muhammad are responsible for four shootings across the country.
A second source told the newspaper that investigators have obtained information implicating Malvo and Muhammad in those shootings -- in which two men were killed and two others were wounded in the months leading up to the October 2002 sniper shootings that terrorized the Washington region.
It was not clear whether investigators had corroborated Malvo's new claims, the Post reported.
Muhammad has been sentenced to death in Virginia, and to six life terms in prison with no chance for parole in Maryland.
Malvo, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, was sentenced to life in prison in Virginia.
