MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN ANCHOR: A host of new indictments in connection with the sniper shootings and they are all from the state of Virginia.
But the question remains: who will get to prosecute the suspects first?
CNN's Patty Davis has been keeping track of all of this for us. She joins us again.
Hello, Patty.
PATTY DAVIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Marty.
Mounting charges against John Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo. Today, Hanover county returning indictments against the two men for attempted capital murder and other charges in connection with the shooting of a 37-year-old man outside a Ponderosa restaurant in Ashland, Virginia October 19.
That man remains fighting for his life, in critical, but stable, condition after four surgeries.
More indictments in Virginia. Spotsylvania County today: capital murder and other charges in connection with October 11 shooting death of Philadelphia businessman Kenneth Bridges at an Exxon gas station right off busy Interstate 95 in Fredericksburg, Virginia and the wounding of a woman outside a Michael's store in Fredericksburg October 4.
Now, Maryland has already filed murder charges for six murders in Montgomery County. The federal government considering bringing charges as well.
Just who will go first in bringing this case to court? Still up in the air, Marty.
SAVIDGE: Patty, not that there is any shortage of trouble for these two, but what about federal charges in all of this?
DAVIS: Well, that's something that the federal government is certainly considering and that would be in connection with this attempt to extort money. Remember that they left a note at two of the crime scenes demanding $10 million. And that is how the federal government might get involved in this. But everything under consideration right now. I'm not sure at this point if the federal government will proceed, Marty. SAVIDGE: That's the least of their worries, I'm sure, at this particular point.
Thank you, Patty Davis, very much.
