Three officers shot
HADDON HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP)
—A gunman opened fire Thursday on
two police officers and a prosecutor’s
investigator as they tried to force their
way into his home to search for weap
ons. At least one officer was killed,
authorities said.
Witnesses said as many as 100 shots
were fired when the three men tried to
force their way into the house. The
suspect barricaded himself inside as
dozens of officers surrounded the
house.
Audubon police Cpl. Ralph Trovato
said the officers and the investigator
were shot to death. But assistant pros
ecutor Joseph Audino of Camden
County said one officer was killed, the
other officer hospitalized, and the in
vestigator was still in the house, his
condition unknown.
The accounts could not immedi
ately be reconciled.
Authorities were talking by phone
to die gunman, identified by police as
Glenn Nelson, who lives in the house
in this Philadelphia suburb. Nelson
has undergone sex-change surgery and
also goes by the name Leslie, Trovato
said.
FBI spokeswoman Linda Vizi said
that during the negotiations, Nelson
placed two handguns outside on the
porch, but that officials believed he
had additional weapons.
Two officers had gone to the house
earlier Thursday to investigate a re
port that a 3-year-old child who lived
there had been sexually abused,
Audino said.
While the officers spoke to the
child’s mother, they noticed at least
one semi-automatic handgun and a
shotgun in the house. Audino did not
know the child’s gender or relation
ship to Nelson.
The officers later determined that
Nelson had a prior arrest record for
illegal weapons possession, officials
said.

Korea talks collapse,
U.S. still unsatisfied
WASHINGTON (AP) — Talks
between the United States and North
Korea broke down Thursday.
No agreement was reached on a
plan to keep the isolated communist
nation from restarting a nuclear pro
gram suspected of producing fuel for
nuclear weapons.
The State Department described
the talks in Berlin as unsatisfactory.
Officials said international inspectors
at Yongbyon would keep an eye on a
5-megawatt experimental reactor that
was shut down last year at U.S. behest.
“I have some concern about the
situation,” Secretary of State Warren
Christopher said. “If they were to re
load the the reactor that would be a
very adverse development.”
American negotiator Gary Samore
and his delegation will remain in Ber
lin until the weekend. North Korea
has not informed them of any inten
tion to resume.
it s a vitaiiy important issue ior
the North Koreans as it is for us, and
so I’m not willing to say that we’ve
suspended the talks,” State Depart
ment spokesman Nicholas Bums said.
North Korea had said Friday was
the deadline for implementing an
agreement reached last October with
the United States to arrange for new
energy supplies.
The main hangup is a U.S. demand
that North Korea accept two South
Korean light-water reactors as replace
ments. North Korea refuses.
Kim Jong U, head of the North
Korean delegation, said the talks re
mained deadlocked and would not be
continued.
American negotiators were re
ported to have presented a compro
mise that would keep North Korea
from carrying out its threat to restart
itsplutonium-producingnuclear reac
tor.
