Hundreds of police and firefighters from around the United States and Canada lined up under cloudy skies Friday, their badges covered with black bands, to file by the caskets of New Hampshire state Troopers Leslie Lord and Scott Phillips. A couple of blocks away, a polished black granite monument was placed at the site where a newspaper editor and a part-time judge were killed in the same shooting rampage that claimed the troopers.

Someone with a powerful shotgun has fired into nine homes in the dead of night in the past two weeks, and terrified residents of the Manchester, N.H., area have taken to sleeping on the floor. The shootings, which began Nov. 27, occurred in different neighborhoods a few miles apart. Police said the weapon, apparently a 12-gauge shotgun loaded with slugs, is particularly alarming. "They have extreme penetrating power and can travel through walls like nothing," Detective Mark Putney said.
