Bus driver shot dead as sniper strikes again

THE Washington serial sniper was feared to have struck again yesterday after a bus driver was shot dead with a single bullet.

Father-of-two Conrad Johnson was killed early as he stood on the steps of his bus in Maryland, 15 miles north of the US capital.

The 35-year-old was airlifted to Suburban Hospital in Bethesda where he underwent emergency surgery, but doctors were unable to save him. He died four hours later.
