WIFE OF SNIPER VICTIM WIPES TEARS AT WASHINGTON PRESS CONFERENCE, 2003-01-16 (photo)

Denise Johnson, whose husband Conrad Johnson was killed by the D.C. area sniper last October, wipes tears after addressing a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, January 16, 2003. The press conference was called to announce that the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence is filing a lawsuit on behalf of several families of sniper victims against the gun dealer and manufacturer whom they claim made it possible for the snipers to terrorize the Washington D.C. area. At right is Victoria Snider whose brother James "Sonny" Buchanan was also killed by the snipers. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque KL
