SESSION SUMMARY:
Two objects were perceived during this session (see diagrams)
.
The first is a black metallic object.
It is within a satchel-type
bag
which
is
filled
with
some
sort
of
gray-brown
granular
substance.
The object has screw-type ends which attach to another
object.
The
terms
EAGLE
NEST,
EAGLE
CLAW
and
CLOSED
CLAW
are
associated with this scene.
There
is
a
list
of
five targets;
the names
are typewritten.
These were perceived to be:
1.
C.I.A.
2.
D.M.I.
(?)
3.
Some sort of military affiliated place or location
4.
Kensington
(Group?)
5.
The target
is
somewhere around the Smithsonian
area
in D.C.
today.
He is sitting in a red,
two-door sports car reminiscent of
a Firebird,
Z-28 or Camero.
He is watching across the street.
It
feels like Constitution Avenue looking north; the area east of the
White House and north of the Smithsonian.
He is looking at a similar M.O.
However, he doesn't like the
layout of the location.
He is stable enough to know when there is
a good get-away scenario and when there isn't.
He is disciplined,
calculating and analytical.
He has a lot of anger and is obsessed

with
plotting,

He
is
frustrated;
his
frustration
level
is
through
the
"roof"
.
This
is
somehow
associated
with
the
Persian
Gulf.
I
perceived
a
sense
that he
considers his actions "divinely directed",
whatever that implies.
He has
a grudge and
a personal score to settle.
As far as additional involved personnel,
I perceived only the
impression of "shadow" figures with an AOL of high-level government
related individual (s)
.
He
has
several
types
of
weapons ;
one
of
which
has
a
long
barrel with a large tube on top (reminiscent of a sniper rifle with
scope)
.
He has a bound group of cube-shaped objects
(see diagram)
.
I
picked
up
that
he
has
had
some
form
of
formal
training;
either military, paramilitary or self taught.
He is real confident
in his abilities and real cool.
He doesn't plan on getting caught.
Intention to lay low for 10-14 days, during which time he will just
be watching and surveilling.
He has a regular job which involves
physical work of lifting and moving objects.
He wears black gloves
while
working.
There
are
stacks
of
objects
around
him
with
a
roller-type conveyor system in front of him.
After hours,
I perceive him shooting pool but not in a bar per
se.
The
location
is
more
reminiscent
of
an
old-fashioned
pool
hall.
He is involved with taking care of or raising animals; maybe
rabbits
or dogs.
However,
I got the clear
impression
of
a
large
snake eating a rabbit.
I
also perceived
a
small
white house with
an
exterior
fuel
tank
(reminiscent of an old style oil tank)
next to the structure.

East German Makarov 9mm semiautomatic pistol and a Co t AR-15
.223-caliber assault rifle at David Condon Guns in Chantilly.

Sources said yesterday that the
fingerprints
will be most
useful
if
they are of sufficient quality to use
in a computer screening process,
if
they are indeed those of the gun-
man and
if the gunman has been
arrested for a felony. The FBI has
on

people
arrested
for

Mil-

Bennett
and
Darling
were
in
their cars
at a stoplight on Dolley
Madison
Boulevard
(Route
123),
preparing to turn into the CIA en-
trance, when the gunman suddenly
emerged from a car and opened fire
shortly before 8 a,m. Monday, Two
other
CIA
employees,
Nicholas
Starr, 60, and Calvin Morgan, 61,
were wounded. They continued
to
how improvement at Fairfax Hos-
pital, where
their conditions were
ppgraded yesterday to fair.
The
third injured man, Stephen
Williams, who was
treated
for
tuperficial
wounds
and
released
Monday, works
for a CIA contrac-
;or. All were stopped at the light.
Franklin said police now believe

stopped
his
car—de-
scribed
as
a
dark,
medium-sized
automobile—directly
behind
Ben-
lett's Saab in one of the turn lanes.

Monday have been
discovered on
one
of the
victim’s cars and on a
shell
casing,
sources
close
to
the
investigation said yesterday.
Based on the size of shell casings
left at the scene of the bloody rush-
hour
incident,
investigators
also
have determined that the gun used
Monday
was
one
of
a
few
basic
models
of
the AK-47-type
assault
rifle. Each carries 10 to 30 rounds
of ammunition and
is
available
at
local gun stores.
Investigators have been canvass-
ing
gun
stores
throughout
the
Washington area in hopes that Mon-
day’s gunman had bought his weap-
on recently, police said.
Although many
hurdles
remain,
law enforcement sources
said
the
fingerprints,
if they match those
in
FBI computer files, could provide a
major break leading them to a sus-
pect,
or
could
at
least help them
target or eliminate people who are
brought in for questioning.

vid
Franklin,
head
of
the
depart-
ment’s Major Crime
Division,
de-
clined
to discuss any findings yes-
terday, He said there has been no
"final analysis” of the evidence.
"We’ve

leads,” Franklin said at a news brief-
ing.
"All
of these
leads are
being
investigated.
I personally
feel that
we’re making
progress,
but
it's
a
slow and tedious process."
Franklin said that since the
inci-
dent,
police
have
received
more
than 400 calls with information on
the incident
via a special 24-hour-
|a-day phone
line
staffed by
inves-
tigators.

prints can be entered into the FBI’s
computerized
fingerprint
laborato-
ry, which has prints from more than
25 million people arrested by fed-
eral, state and local police depart-
ments.
Leslie J. Wallace, a spokeswoman
ror
the
FBI,
said
the
bureau
al.->o
maintains fingerprints of more than
million other
people,
including
all military personnel and other fed-
eral
employees, some
police,
and
workers
in
places
such
as
banks
that must register prints under fed-
eral law.
The
length
of time
it
takes
to
identify
a
fingerprint
depends
greatly on
its clarity. Wallace said,
adding, “Under
ideal conditions,
it
i
can take two to three hours, but
it
could take up to two to three days
or even longer."
FBI
specialists
in computerized
fingerprinting were not available to
explain how
the

lie-ek-
iingerprincs.
But
other
specialists
said the computer reads lines, loops
and other fingerprint features and
selects potential matches that then
must be reviewed
visually by
lab-
oratory analysts. The computer can
review millions of fingerprints and
select
candidates
in
seconds.
One
private
consultant
said
that
even partial prints or smudges,
al-
though
less
desirable,
can
be
en-
hanced and run through computers
in a search for a match.
Law
enforcement
sources
said
the dimensions of the shell casings
led them to believe that the gunman
probably used one of several basic
kinds
of
semiautomatic
military-
style firearms: an SKS, a gas-oper-
ated rifle with 10 rounds, or a vari-

Looking for a Marksman
cp?rght
n°° ^any Shots Wasted, ’Source Says
By Patricia Davis and Bill Miller
•'»
’
Washington Post Staff Writers
Fairfax County's chief prosecutor
ind others investigating last week's
hooting
outside
the
CIA's
head-
[uarters
said yesterday
that they
idieve
the
gunman
is
a
skilled
narksman.
“From all the evidence available,
his was a very efficient gunman,”
aid
Commonwealth's
Attorney
Robert
F. Horan Jr. “He certainly
/as well armed.”
“It’s obvious to those of us in the
usiness,
there
weren't
too many
hots wasted,” said a source close
o the investigation.
Horan declined to discuss any ev-
lence
in the incident, but sources
said the gunman fired at least
10,
* rounds;
hitting
the
five
victims
eight times. A source said the gun-
man, who parked a brown compact
station wagon behind one the vic-
tim's cars, fired shots as he moved
toward the front of the line of traffic
waiting to enter the complex, then
continued shooting on his way back
to his car.
.
Two men were
killed
and
three
others were wounded by what police
have described as an AK-47 type of
semiautomatic
assault
rifle
shortly
before 8 a.m. as they sat waiting to
turn
left from Dolley Madison Bou-
levard (Route
123)
into CIA head-
quarters, in Langley. Four of the vie-

lie
investigators

the
gunman may have a grudge against
the CIA, they still have no motive for
the shootings. “Some people want to
say this is a real crazed wacko as op-
posed
to some
cold,
calculating
hit
man
or
someone
with
a
mission
against the CIA/' Horan
said. “Any
conclusion is pure speculation.”
Police sources and others familiar
with firearms said proficiency with an
AK-47 type of weapon, a military as-
sault
rifle
capable
of
firing
or
more
rounds,
could come
through
practice or military training.
Edward
Ezell,
the
firearms
cu-
rator
at
the
National Museum
of
American History, said
it “was pret-
ty amazing” that
the gunman was
able to hit so many people in such a
short time.
The gunman's apparent choice of
>nly
male
targets,
bypassing
at
east two women, showed
that he
had some
skill
with
the
weapon,
Ezell said. He added that the events
demonstrated some preparation by
the gunman, rather than a spur-of-
the-moment shooting.
However, some gun experts said
it doesn't take a lot of expertise to
shoot someone with a
rifle from as
lose as three feet.
“That's
point-blank
range,”
said
layward Long, owner of the Blue
tidge
Arsenal,
an
indoor
firing
ange and gun
shop
in
Chantilly.
Anyone can do that. It doesn't take
kill. That weapon
is
not
all
that
ompiicated to use."
Long
and
two
other
area
gun
hop officials said skill usually is re-
tired
when
shooting
an
AK-47
ype of weapon at a distance.
But others noted that the gunman
/as firing under stressful conditions,
n
a
hurry and
moving. They
sug-
gested he might have prepared
for
he shooting at a firing range.
Law
enforcement
authorities
railed the owner of Clark Brothers
iring range in Warrenton, Va., last
veek to ask if anyone matching the
gunman's description had practiced
vith
an
assault
weapon
recently,
rhe range, about a 90-minute drive
rom CIA headquarters,
is open to
he public.
“It does make you perk up and
;ake notice,” said Steve Clark, the
)wner. “The composite
picture
is
>retty much anybody, unfortunate-
y.
I'd
like
nothing better than
to
;urn in somebody like this.”
Meanwhile,
Nicholas
Starr, one
)f the three men wounded
in the
shooting, was released from Fairfax
hospital yesterday, II days after he
