to the rash of murders | on the other side of the country.

Local F.B.I. locked down | this Tacoma home...

and have proceeded to perform a grid | search of the yard with metal detectors...

as though they're looking | for bullet fragments.

Firefighters are also working to remove | a pockmarked tree trunk...

which looks like it might have | been used for target practice.

Chief, if the press has Tacoma, | they have the names too.

Screw the names. If the snipers | see this, they're in old Mexico.

F.B.I. will load this trunk | along with wood pile and rock debris...

and will ship it back to their lab | in Maryland.

Would you tell my son | I'm out at the car? Bad toothache.

- Ah, sure, baby. I'll do that for you. | - Thank you. Appreciate it.

Earliertoday, | metal detectors were used...

to sweep the yard | of this Tacoma, Washington address.

Sources close to the sniper investigation | have stated that there is something--

a suspect, a witness--

something that links these two | seemingly unrelated locations.

John! It's okay. He's just outside. | Your daddy went to sit in the car.

TACOMA FAMILY COURT | TACOMA, WASHINGTON

- Beatrice Jaffe? | - Uh, yes?

We're looking for information | on a John Allen Muhammad.

- He's the ex of one of my clients. | - Mildred Muhammad.

Yes, that's right.

Did he find her?

Chief?

I know why he came here.

John? John. | Watch your sisters.

- All right. | - I gotta run to the store.

Aaah!

God.

Play nice, babies.

Aaah!

- They get to her in time? | - Yeah.

House is secure, | the wife and kids are safe.

Oh, my God.

I told Sandy about the Wheaton shooting | when all this started.

She asked me...

"Was it a domestic dispute?"

Is this just some guy gone around the bend | because his wife got custody?

- Maybe that's how it started. | - Why'd he keep going?

Why didn't he stop?

It's hard when you're made to feel | you're the Almighty.

John Allen Williams.

John Allen Williams is said to be travelling | with his stepson,John Lee Malvo.

John Allen Williams--

We go out with the make and model now, | they're gonna dump that car.

You put the car out, | it's easier for a citizen to spot.

Tip line might get us there faster.

Wouldn't we have to worry about | a citizen taking the law into his own hands?

They are travelling in not | a white box truck, not a white van...

but a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice.

We do now.

Dad?

Yeah.

What do we do now?

Uh, let's just--

Let's just close our eyes | for a while.

A federal arrest | warrant has been issued...

for John Allen Muhammad...

also known as John Allen Williams.

Muhammad should be considered | armed and dangerous.

He may be in the company of a juvenile.

Do not approach them.

Call 9 1 1.

Here's one with a wild hair. | Call somebody else, all right?

All right, let's get back | to our top story.

The sniper car's finally been I.D.'d | by the Montgomery Police Department.

It's a blue Chevy Caprice, | New Jersey tags.

That'd be NDA 2 1Z.

Nora-David-Alpha 2 1Z.

You see it out there, would appreciate | it if you called 9 1 1 and let 'em know.

With your help, | we can put a stop to this madness...

that's been terrorizing the area | for the last few weeks.

Any of you eagle-eyes spot this car, | please call 9 1 1 right away.

Yeah.

It's happening.

Out of the car! Come on!

Get out!

Lay down! On the ground! | Get down!

- Duncan. | - No shots fired.

We found them in their car, asleep.

- They get the weapon? | - Yeah.

- A.T.F. will have ballistics this afternoon. | - That's great, Charles. Get some sleep.

- Okay. | - Talk to you this afternoon.

I'll talk to you then.

Congratulations.

They matched your rifle.

Today you graduate | to capital murder,John.

What a waste.

Hey,John.

Death penalty's not a question | any more.

Are you hot?

You want a soda?

You pathetic piece of sh*t.

- Damn! | - Careful!

- I got it! | - Get out of there!

- Get him down! | - Get off me! Get off me!

Get off me!

Okay. Okay! Okay, okay!

Okay. Okay.

I wanted to express to you...

who have lost loved ones...

that...

a case like this...

a case of this nature...

there is no protocol...

no textbook to follow.

We did everything--

everything we could.

But it wasn't enough for...

the ones you lost.

And I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Chief Moose, | my brother was the last--

He was the last victim.

Don't you blame yourself.

We don't blame you.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26th

Yeah. Okay.

Fine.

They're no-shows. | They forfeit.

Aw, come on!

- What's the problem? | - People are still scared.

Hello.

Yes.

Yeah, thank you.

What?

They say he's gonna be all right.

The boy they shot--

He's gonna be okay.

So, what do you guys wanna do?

- What you wanna do? | - Let's play ourselves!

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Jeffrey!

Although this movie is based upon actual events, | certain characters and scenes have been fictionalized.
