the FBI special agent, said there is

Fairfax County Police Chief Mi-
chael W. Young said Kansi appears
to have been operating alone but,
he said, "there's a lot more work to
do."
Authorities followed
several
paths to the suspect. First, accord-
ing to police, Kansi was reported
missing three days after the shoot-

He had not been seen since the
day of the shootings. Then, four
days ago, police received a tip from
Kansi's roommate, also Pakistami,
who allowed police" to search his
apartment.
At the same time, federal law
enforcement officials were studying
gun purchases. They knew fromm
past experience in such cases, im-
cluding John Hinckley's attempted
assassination of President Reagain,
that killers often purchase their
weapons within a relatively short
time of their crimes.

weapons in the Washington area iin

sent a chill down my spine," Barrett

Puzzled Neighbors Say Shooting Suspect Was Quiet
By D'Vera Cohn
and Robert O'Harrow Jr.
Washington Post Staff Writers
Mir. Aimal Kansi was described
by neighbors at his Reston low-rise
apartment complex as a quiet man
who did not seem remarkable in any
way until he was named yesterday
as the suspect in the methodical
shooting rampage last month that
killed two people outside CIA head-
quarters in Langley.
Police said Kansi is a 28-year-old
Pakistani citizen who had been in the
country illegally, but had been grant
ed legal status under general immi-
gration amnesty. He had a work per
mit and was employed as a package
"courier! He had never been a CIA
employee, police said. They said he
might have left the country, but that
that has not yet been determined.
Kansi is now the subject of a world-
wide manhunt.
Kansi's name came to light shortly
after the Jan. 25 shootings, polide
said, when his roommate reported
him missing from their ground-floor
unit at Laurel Glade Apartments in They said the apartment's occu-
Reston, about 15 miles west of
Washington.
A privately owned subsidized de-
velopment with 200 units, Laurel
Glade is a well-kept three-story
brick complex in the Hunters
Woods section of Reston. The
apartments are near the U.S. Geo-
logical Survey and in the same
neighborhood as Dogwood Elemen-
tary School.
Rents are moderate; a two-bed-
room unit goes for $650 a month.
No one answered the door yester-
day at the apartment rented in the
name of Ahmed Mir, a man neigh-
bors described as being in his thir-
ties. Resident manager Sandra Sly
said Mir had rented the one-bedroom
unit since October 1991. Although
police said Mir had a roommate, Sly
said his lease did not allow room-
mates.
Other residents of the building
said they were not sure they recog-
nized Kansi as their neighbor from
the photograph shown on television.
Several of them also said two or
more men occupied the apartment.
pants were quiet and reserved,
though not unfriendly.
Ghias Ahmed, who lives upstairs
from the apartment where police
said Kansi lived, said his neighbor
"looks like a very regular guy" and
often said hello.
Ting Sourivong remembered
Kansi differently. "He is so quiet,"
Sourivong said. "We never talked to
him."
Authorities did not release much
information on Kansi or Mir, but
neighbors said they thought one man
drove a taxi and another worked in a
grocery store. One of the men, ac-
cording to one neighbor, drove an
ash-colored station wagon; police
have described the gunman's car as a
medium-brown station wagon.
Neighbors said they realized
something was amiss on Monday,
when police stopped by the building I

two men who appeared to be under

someone mentioned in connection
with such a high-profile case.
"The gentleman that lived theri
was a nice man," she said about Mig
"I never had a problem."

ates in the case of Mir Aimal Kansi, who police say killed two
men and wounded three others outside the CIA's Langley
headquarters:
Oct. 2, 1964: Kansi is born in the provincial capital of Quetta, Pakistan.
March 3, 1991: He enters the United States through John F. Kennedy
International Airport in New York.
Feb. 3, 1992: Kansi applies for asylum in the United States.
Feb. 12: The Immigration and Naturalization Service grants Kansi a one-
year work permit. Though it was renewable, Kansi never applied for
renewal.
Jan. 16, 1993: Kansi buys a Beretta .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol, an
East German Makarov 9mm semiautomatic pistol and a Colt AR-15
.223-caliber assault rifle at David Condon Guns in Chantilly.
Jan. 22: Kansi buys a Chinese-made Norinco AK-47-type assault rifle
and ammunition at the Chantilly gun store, trading in the AR-15.
Jan. 25: Five people are shot, two fatally, while sitting in cars at a traffic
light outside CIA headquarters in Langley.
Jan. 26: A man police believe was Kansi flew from Washington to
Pakistan
Jan. 28: Kansi's roommate, Zahed Mir, reports Kansi missing to Fairfax
police. Mir tells police he last saw Kansi on the day of the shootings
Jan. 30: Kansi calls Mir to say that he will not be returning to their
Reston apartment and that someone will come for his belongings.
Feb. 6: Mir again calls police and tells them he believes Kansi may have
been involved in the shootings. Mir's was among about 2,500 tips
police received during the investigation.
Feb. 8: Police search the Reston apartment. They find an AK-47-type
rifle and several other weapons. A jacket and pants fitting witnesses'
descriptions of what the gunman wore also are found. Shards of glass
are on some of the clothes; car windows were shot out at the CIA.
Feb. 9: Authorities announce that ballistics tests show Kansi's AK-47
rifle is the weapon used in the shootings and that Kansi has been
charged with capital murder.
Feb. 10: Manhunt spreads worldwide for Kansi.

Kansi lived in Reston. His room-

Bennett and Darling were in
their cars at a stoplight on Dolley
Madison Boulevard (Route 123),
preparing to turn into the CIA en-
trance, when the gunman suddenly
emerged from a car and opened fire
shortly before 8 a.m. Monday. Two
other CIA employees, Nicholas
Starr, 60, and Calvin Morgan, 61,
were wounded. They continued to
show improvement at Fairfax Hos-
pital, where their conditions were
upgraded yesterday to fair.
The third injured man, Stephen

superficial wounds and released
Monday, works for a CIA contrac-

Franklin said police now believe
the gunman stopped his car-de-
scribed as a dark, medium-sized
automobile-directly behind Ben-
nett's Saab in one of the turn lanes.

Monday have been discovered on
one of the victim's cars and on a
shell casing, sources close to the
investigation said yesterday.
Based on the size of shell casings
left at the scene of the bloody rush-
hour incident, investigators also
have determined that the gun used
Monday was one of a few basic
models of the AK-47-type assault
rifle. Each carries 10 to 30 rounds
of ammunition and is available at
local gun stores.
Investigators have been canvass-
ing gun stores throughout the
Washington area in hopes that Mon-
day's gunman had bought his weap-
on recently, police said.
Although many hurdles remain,
law enforcement sources said the
fingerprints, if they match those in
FBI computer files, could provide a
major break leading them to a sus-
pect, or could at least help them
target or eliminate people who are
brought in for questioning.
Fairfax County police Capt. Da-
vid Franklin, head of the depart-
ment's Major Crime Division, de-
clined to discuss any findings yes-

"final analysis" of the evidence.
"We've received a lot of good
leads," Franklin said at a news brief-
ing. "All of these leads are being
investigated. I personally feel that
we're making progress, but it's a
slow and tedious process."
Franklin said that since the inci-
dent, police have received more
than 400 calls with information on
the incident via a special 24-hour-
a-day phone line staffed by inves-
tigators.
"There are a lot of people we've

One private consultant said that

Law enforcement sources said
the dimensions of the shell casings
led them to believe that the gunman
probably used one of several basic
hds of semiautomatic military-
style firearms: an SKS, a gas-oper-
ated rifle with 10 rounds, or a vari-
atton of the AK-47, the most widely
used assault rifle in the world, such
as
the AKM. Both the AK-47 and
the AKM carry 30-round maga-
ziles. Such weapons have been
used in other recent multiple shoot-
ings across the nation.

Morgan suffered at least one
gunshot wound to his left arm.
Medical authorities said the bullet
traveled up his arm and lodged be-
hind his ear.
The two men were wounded by a
gunman who fired at close range as
"they sat in their cars waiting for a
Flight to change on Dolley Madison
Boulevard (Route 123). Two men
died at the scene, while a third mo-
torist was treated at Arlington Hos-
pital and released.
Starr underwent nearly 12 hours
of surgery at. Fairfax Hospital on
Monday. Morgan was in the operat-
ing room a few hours. Starr, who con-
sented to allowing his doctor to dis-
cuss his case, underwent additional
surgery yesterday afternoon to re-
dress his wound, Trask said.
When he recovers, Starr will
have some impairment in his left
arm because one of its three major
nerves was severed and another
nerve is not working, according to
the doctor.
Because of the blood loss Starr
suffered, hospital workers put out
an urgent call Monday morning for
donors, especially those with his
rare O-negative blood type. More
than 250 people-four times the
usual donor pool-showed up, cre-
ating a two-hour backup at the
Blood Donor Services office. Anoth-
er 200 people gave blood Tuesday.
David Gens, an assistant profes-
sor of surgery at the University of
Maryland's Shock Trauma Center,
said the key to saving severely in-
jured people is to get them to a
good trauma facility quickly.
"Minutes are important," espe-
cially with substantial blood loss,
Gens said. "If it's true [Starr] lost
his entire blood volume, then 45
minutes, for example, might have
meant death."
While praising the efforts of his
trauma staff, Trask said there was
nothing particularly unusual or he-
roic in their efforts to save Starr's
life.
"This happens in trauma centers
almost every day," he said. "It's just
that they're usually not working at
the CIA. And they're usually not
shot with an AK-47."

CIA Shooting Investigators
Looking for a Marksman
Weren't Too Many Shots Wasted,' Source Says
By Patricia Davis and Bill Miller
Washington Post Staff Writers
Fairfax County's chief prosecutor
nd others investigating last week's
hooting outside the CIA's head-
uarters said yesterday that they
elieve the gunman is a skilled
harksman.
"From all the evidence available,
his was a very efficient gunman,"

Attorney
Robert F. Horan Jr. "He certainly
kas well armed."
"It's obvious to those of us in the
usiness, there weren't too many
hots wasted," said a source close
the investigation.
Horan declined to discuss any ev-
lence in the incident, but sources
said .the gunman fired at least 10
rounds, hitting the five victims
eight times. A source said the guir
man, who parked a brown compact
station wagon behind one the vic-

toward the front of the line of traffic
waiting to enter the complex, then
continued shooting on his way back
to his car. .

While investigators suspect the
gunman may have a grudge against
the CIA, they still have no motive for
the shootings. "Some people want to
say this is a real crazed wacko as op-
posed to some cold, calculating hit
man or someone with a mission
against the CIA," Horan said. "Any
conclusion is pure speculation."
Police sources and others familiar
with firearms said proficiency with an
AK-47 type of weapon, a military as-
sault rifle capable of firing 10 or
more rounds, could come through
practice or military training.
Edward Ezell, the firearms cu-
rator at the National Museum of
American History, said it "was pret-
ty amazing" that the gunman was
able to hit so many people in such a
short time.
The gunman's apparent choice of
only male targets, bypassing at
least two women, showed that he
had some skill with the weapon,
Ezell said. He added that the events
demonstrated some preparation by
the gunman, rather than a spur-of-
the-moment shooting.
However, some gun experts said
it doesn't take a lot of expertise to
shoot someone with a rifle from as
close as three feet.
"That's point-blank range," said
Hayward Long, owner of the Blue
Ridge Arsenal, an indoor firing
Fange and gun shop in Chantilly.
'Anyone can do that. It doesn't take
skill. That weapon is not all that
complicated to use."
Long and two other area gun
shop officials said skill usually is re-
quired when shooting an AK-47
type of weapon at a distance.
But others noted that the gunman
was firing under stressful conditions,
in a hurry and moving. They sug-
gested he might have prepared for
the shooting at a firing range.
Law
enforcement
authorities
called the owner of Clark Brothers
firing range in Warrenton, Va., last
week to ask if anyone matching the
gunman's description had practiced
with an assault weapon recently.
The range, about a 90-minute drive
from CIA headquarters, is open to
the public.
"It does make you perk up and
take notice," said Steve Clark, the
owner. "The composite picture is
pretty much anybody, unfortunate-
ly. I'd like nothing better than to
turn in somebody like this."
Meanwhile, Nicholas Starr, one
of the three men wounded in the
shooting, was released from Fairfax
