Lee Boyd Malvo told law enforcement officials this spring that he and fellow sniper
John Allen Muhammad are responsible for four shootings across the country that have
not been publicly attributed to them, a source familiar with the case said.

A second source confirmed that investigators have received information implicating
the snipers in those shootings, which claimed the lives of two men and wounded two
others in the months before the October 2002 slayings that terrorized the Washington
region. The sources declined to speak for attribution because of the sensitivity
of the information.

It is unclear to what degree, if any, authorities have corroborated Malvo's new claims.
He has provided conflicting accounts of shootings in the past and testified last month
that he lied to investigators after he and Muhammad were arrested.

The claims bring the list of confirmed and suspected sniper shootings to 27, including
17 homicides, and add two states to the list of jurisdictions that could file charges
against Muhammad and Malvo.
