Washington sniper reported details of new shootings

Convicted US sniper Lee Boyd Malvo told authorities that he and John Allen Muhammad were responsible for four additional shootings that had not been publicly linked to them before, according to a published report.

The Washington Post, quoting a person familiar with the case, today reported that the shootings occurred before the three-week sniper spree in October 2002 in which 13 people were shot, 10 fatally, in the Washington area.
