believe they've nabbed the man responsible for a series of military shootings here in the washington, d.c. areaast year and there are serious security concerns about the suspect's motives. our homeland security correspondent jeanne meserve is working the story for us. what do we know about this individual? >> well, wolf, this is a military reservist charged with shooting at military facilities. the case unfolded unexpectedly. before he was arrested last friday in arlington national cemetery yonathan melaku was not on the fbi radar but now is charged with a string of shootings at military facilities in virginia in october and november. a key piece of evidence a video recovered from his bedroom apparently shot by melaku himself. it allegedly shows him firing a gun from inside a vehicle at what looks like the marine corps museum. according to an affidavit he says that's my target. that's the military building. it's going to be attacked. when the shooting is done he yells, alahu achbar. >> anybody who would shoot a semiautomatic weapon at four different military installations over the course of fiv

evidence in the book, and this is true across three different metro areas that we looked at -- chicago, los angeles, and washington, d.c -- that high poverty areas tend not to have adequate access or as much access to social service programs as lower poverty areas. and i think this is not one reason, a combination. but my sense is that in many communities it's hard to find suitable office space. it's hard to recruit staff to work in some of the highest poverty neighborhoods. and also, frankly, i think a lot of organizations prefer to locate downtown or near corridors of power, perhaps, where they can connect with foundations and fundraisers, and that's important if they're going to be a growing concern, but it has unintended consequences as the farther away you are from are a program, the harder it is to participate or receive help. >> so what's the solution to that? >> well, in this economic environment it's tough to think about solutions. oftentimes when we talk about mismatches in social service programs or we talk about the lack of adequate provision safety and assistance, our gut instinct is to say, well, we shoul
