The killer left a calling card. It was found not far from where a 13-year-old boy was shot and critically wounded Monday morning at Benjamin Tasker Middle School in Bowie, Maryland.
In a nearby wooded area, detectives found the spot where the sniper apparently waited in ambush. The grass was matted down, a shell casing was found and, law enforcement sources say, investigators found a message from the gunman to the Police.
It was written on a Tarot Card, an ancient method of fortune telling. The cards are supposed to help people look into the future.
You might remember the cards were used in one of the old James Bond movies, 'Live and Let Die.'
They're are 78 cards in a Tarot deck. Near the Middle School Monday, Prince George's County detectives found one card - the Death Card.
Law enforcement sources say there was a message scribbled on the card. It read; 'Dear Policeman, I am God.'
According to a history of Tarot cards, 'The Death Skeleton' comes to all: child, father, mother, king and priest.'
The Sniper has killed six people and wounded two. The child, who was wounded Monday, is in critical, but stable condition.
Of the six who were killed, four were men and two were woman.
When contacted by 9-News, Prince George's County police issued a statement saying, "We're are not commenting on any potential evidence that may have been located."
Hmm, maybe therein lies a pattern of some sort. I'd be warning clergy at least.
