The D.C. Sniper
3 phases planned…
Part of his testimony concerned Muhammad's complete plan with three phases in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metro areas. Phase One consisted of meticulously planning, mapping and practicing their locations around the DC area so after each shooting they could quickly leave the area on a predetermined path and continue to the next location. Muhammad's goal in Phase One was to kill six white people a day for 30 days (180 per month).[40] Malvo described how Phase One did not go as planned due to heavy traffic and the lack of a clear shot and/or getaway routes at different locations.
Phase Two was meant to be undertaken in Baltimore, but was never carried out. It was to begin with the killing of a pregnant woman by a shot to the abdomen. The next step was to have been the killing of a Baltimore City police officer and, at the officer's funeral, to detonate several improvised explosive devices that contained shrapnel intending to kill a large number of police officers attending the funeral.
Phase Three was to take place very shortly after, if not during, Phase Two. It was to extort several million dollars from the United States government. This money would be used to finance a larger plan to travel to Canada, stopping en route at YMCAs and orphanages to recruit impressionable young boys with no parents or guidance. Muhammad thought he could act as their father figure as he had with Malvo. Once he recruited a large number of young boys and arrived in Canada, Muhammad would train the boys with weapons and send them across the United States to carry out mass shootings in many different cities, just as he had done in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
