[0:03] a closer look.
[0:08] >> From ABC News World Headquarters in New
[0:11] York, this is World News Tonight with
[0:14] Peter Jennings.
[0:15] >> Good evening everyone. It's been a
[0:16] difficult day in the hunt for the
[0:17] suburban sniper. After the last killing
[0:20] on Monday night, investigators thought
[0:21] they could create a sketch of what the
[0:24] man looked like. Various people said
[0:26] they had seen him do the killing, but it
[0:28] hasn't been the case. And as of tonight,
[0:30] with all of the resources brought into

[1:10] interviewed and reinterviewed witnesses
[1:12] who were in the parking area, and they
[1:14] now know a lot about what happened here.
[1:17] The gunman's van was here at the end of
[1:20] a line of parked cars. Witnesses say he
[1:22] crouched on one knee and fired. The
[1:25] victim was standing right here behind
[1:27] her car. She was with her husband. They
