MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Teenage sniper suspect in the D.C. area Lee Boyd Malvo apparently once bragged he would shoot a whole school bus full of kids. Just one of the things that came out today at a hearing in Fairfax, Virginia.
For details on all that, we turn now to CNN's Patty Davis.
Hello, Patty.
PATTY DAVIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Miles.
Absolutely chilling testimony from a prison guard at Baltimore's supermax where 18-year-old sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo was first incarcerated. The guard says he asked why did you shoot the little boy? That was the little boy outside a school in Bowie, Maryland who survived. He said -- and Malvo said, "To get Chief Moose upset. When a man's upset, he can't think straight. It worked because he was crying on TV."
He said that the plan in that Iran Brown shooting, that young boy, was actually to shot a whole busload of kids. But the bus pulled in the wrong way that day.
He also said there was another plan to shoot a pregnant woman in Baltimore. But Muhammad had called off that shooting because a police helicopter overhead. Malvo said he was prepared to shoot a policemen in the head who was talking to Mohammed outside of a trash Dumpster, if anything had gone wrong. The guard asked Malvo, "Why did you do this?" Malvo said, "Lots of ghettos in America." He was trying to clean them up.
The defense working to suppress those -- the testimony by this prison guard, but the prosecutors say it was voluntarily given. It was not an interrogation, and they want it kept in, and that testimony is still ongoing -- Miles.
O'BRIEN: CNN's Patty Davis in Fairfax. We'll be following that story as it unfolds.
