Police chief Moose shows his horns to media

POLICE chief Charles Moose, the man leading the hunt for the Washington sniper, has become famous for his passionate press briefings and confrontations with reporters.

The head of Maryland’s Montgomery County police department, where five victims were shot, has let his temper erupt during a number of media encounters.

After a local TV station reported leaked details about a Tarot card apparently left by the gunman at the scene of the shooting of a 13-year-old boy, he begged the media not to interfere with the investigation.
