For IS minutes the gunman walked through the area Sunday night firing pointblank into cars stopped at traffic lights and in one case at a pedestrian. "He was smiling. I thought he had been shooting blanks, said 19-year-old William Painter, one of an estimated 40-50 witnesses to the shooting binge. "Some witnesses ducked for cover. Others just stood their and watched in disbelieving shock," said police Capt.

Miles R. Daniels. Two policemen shot and killed the gunman when he ignored their orders to sur render and he fired into another auto. Police said there were indications the shootings were racially motivated. All of the victims were black and the gunman was white.

He passed up at least one car with whites as he walked down a highway looking for another auto, said Police Supt. Kenneth Watkins. The gunman was identified as Michael Edward Pearch, 29, an unemployed carpenter who lived with his mother in nearby Silver Spring, Md. Police said they found two shotguns and two rifles along with a large cache of ammunition at his home. Pearch was carrying a .45 caliber automatic pistol and wore a knapsack containing about 250 rounds of ammunition, police said.

A machete was strapped to his chest. Police gave this account of the shooting rampage: The gunman shot his first victims in a car waiting for a traffic light at a shopping center, killing John L. Sligh, 43, of Rockville, and wounding his wife, Mrs. Laureen D. Sligh, 40, in both legs.

Then he walked to an auto behind the Sligh car and fired at Dr. Ralph C. Gomes of Rockville, but missed. Gomes' car crashed into another and he suffered several broken toes. From there the gunman walked up a sidestreet and turned onto a highway where he shot a pedestrian standing on a traffic island.

The victim, Harold S. Navy 17, of Rockville, was wounded in the abdomen. Walking further up the road, the gunman shot and killed Connie L. Stanley, 52, of nearby Washington, D.C., who was sitting in hiscar at a traffic light. The gunman walked behind Stanley's car and fired into another auto, wounding Rosalyn Stanley, 26, of Annapolis, Md.

At that point, two policemen spotted the gunman and ordered him to halt. He turned and looked at them, but went on to another car and fired, authorities said.
