FORT WASHINGTON, Md. — A woman was detained for questioning Wednesday in the search for the serial sniper who has killed six people and seriously wounded two others in the Washington, D.C., area.
Prince George's County Police said the woman may have dropped off a man seen walking into a wooded area near a high school in the county.
Police, FBI and ATF agents were searching the woods after getting reports of a white man wearing blue jeans and a blue jacket seen getting out of a blue car and carrying a long, black bag.
Police believe the serial sniper has been using a high-powered assault rifle in the shootings.
Police spokeswoman Diane Richardson said they're not sure if the woman has any connection to the report, but she said the woman was driving a dark blue vehicle.
Children in nearby schools were being kept inside, Richardson said, adding that a decision will be made on what to do if the search is continuing at dismissal time.
A Prince George's police spokeswoman said a team of surveyors had worked in the area yesterday, and police were checking whether the surveyors had returned on Wednesday.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) — Investigators searching for a sniper terrorizing the Washington suburbs found a tarot card with the words, ``Dear policeman, I am God,'' near a bullet casing outside the school where a 13-year-old boy was critically wounded, a source familiar with the investigation confirmed Wednesday.
Police were also searching a wooded area behind a school in Prince George's County after reports Wednesday of a man seen carrying a long black bag. A woman driving in the area was detained for questioning.
``We don't know whether or not she was the person who dropped the subject off but we are talking to her trying to find out why she was here,'' Prince George's County Police Cpl. Diane Richardson said.
Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose, who has been leading the investigation, wouldn't comment on the card but said he was concerned that unapproved information was being leaked.
``I need to make sure I don't do anything to hinder our ability to bring this person or these people into custody,'' Moose said Wednesday.
The taunting message left on a tarot card known as the Death card, first reported Tuesday night on WUSA-TV and then by The Washington Post, was confirmed by a source Wednesday to The Associated Press.
The shell casing was being checked against the National Ballistics Identification Network, a database of crime-scene firearms evidence maintained by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
