Police Make Appeal, Note Left at Sniper Scene Last Updated: October 20, 2002 07:31 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Police investigating the Washington area sniper attacks on Sunday issued an unusual public appeal for the person who left a message at the scene of a shooting in Virginia on Saturday to contact them.
"To the person who left us a message at the Ponderosa (restaurant) last night, you gave us a telephone number. We do want to talk to you, call us at the number you provided," Police Chief Charles Moose urged in a live broadcast. A 37-year-old man, who was not identified, was critically wounded by a single bullet as he walked across the restaurant parking lot with his wife in Ashland, Virginia about 80 miles south of Washington.
Police have not established a link between that shooting and 11 others in the Washington area since Oct. 2 but said they were investigating as if there was a connection.
Moose, whose department is heading up the regional investigation, said he wanted the news media to carry his appeal "clearly, and carry it often." Moose declined to take questions from reporters assembled for what had been expected to be a news briefing. © Copyright Reuters 2002. All rights reserved.
