(( SIX JURISDICTIONS HAVE NOW LAID CLAIM TO PROSECUTING JOHN MUHAMMED AND JOHN MALVO FOR A STRING OF KILLINGS IN THE WASHINGTON, D-C AREA. THE LATEST INDICTMENT COMES FROM PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY, MARYLAND WHERE A 13-YEAR-OLD BOY WAS SHOT AND INJURED ON HIS WAY TO SCHOOL. Jack Johnson/Prince Georges County, MD States Attorney: We are filing attempted first degree murder charges against both of these individuals and conspiracy to commit murder against both of these individuals. AS THE CHARGES LODGED AGAINST THE SUSPECTS GROW MORE COMPLEX, SO DOES THE INVESTIGATION. ALABAMA POLICE SAY THAT, ASIDE FROM MUHAMMED AND MALVO, THEY SUSPECT A THIRD PERSON MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE KILLING OF A LIQUOR STORE CLERK IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA. THEY SAY THE THIRD PERSON COULD HAVE BEEN THE SHOOTER OR THE DRIVER OF A GETAWAY CAR. AND POLICE THERE ALSO BELIEVE THE SAME RIFLE USED IN THE WASHINGTON SNIPER ATTACKS - A RIFLE SIMILAR TO THIS - WAS USED TO KILL THE CLERK. THEY HAD ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THE MURDER WEAPON WAS A HANDGUN, BUT BALLISTICS TESTS MATCH THE RIFLE. CBS NEWS HAS LEARNED AUTHORITITES IN BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA ARE ANNOUNCING A BALLISTIC LINK FROM TWO SHOOTINGS IN SEPTEMBER ...IS ALLEGEDLY TIED TO THE SNIPERS. ))

Pledge is currently serving an eight-year sentence on federal racketeering charges.
The former cop admitted last year to crossing the line by accepting bribes and narcotics from drug dealers in Northwest Roanoke.
Pledge was sentenced for robbery.

He is asking for a new sentencing hearing.
