In Path of Suspected Brooklyn Killer, an Electronic Trail
By COREY KILGANNON
The Brooklyn man who police said left a trail of violence and death across the city on Friday and Saturday also left a trail, of sorts, on a pager service that notifies news media members of breaking news in New York.

Police say the man, Maksim Gelman, is responsible for three fatal stabbings; a hit-and-run homicide; four other stabbings; four auto thefts, including two carjackings and several death threats.

He was also responsible for dozens of notices and updates on the Breaking News Network pager service, a subscription service that relays transcriptions and summations of police and fire dispatches from New York City and surrounding areas.
