built 288 days ago
Locations of the 15 sniper attacks numbered chronologically.  Note: No one was injured at location "2". The Beltway sniper attacks took place during three weeks in October 2002 in the Mid-Atlantic United States. As ten people were killed and three others critically injured in and around Washington, D.C., in various locations throughout the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area and along Interstate 95 in Virginia, it was widely speculated that a single sniper was using the Capital Beltway for travel, possibly in a white van or truck. It was later learned that the rampage was perpetrated by two men, John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, driving a blue Chevrolet Caprice sedan, and had apparently begun the month before with murders and robbery in Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia which had resulted in three deaths. An earlier spree for which the pair was responsible had killed victims in California, Arizona, and Texas, for a total of 16 deaths identified as of March 2007.
The "Beltway Sniper" attacks over a period of 3 weeks, killing 10 and injuring 3 in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore-Washington Metro area. John Allen Muhammed (a member of the Nation of Islam) and Lee Boyd Malvo are convicted of the attacks.

Horan Jr., left, and Raymond Morrogh, chief deputy prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Virginia, brief reporters after an evidence hearing for sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo outside U.S. Circuit Court in Fairfax in a file photo from Oct. 31, 2003. Horan, 74, announced Tuesday that he will retire after 40 years as the top prosecutor in Virginia’s most populous county. Horan oversaw two of the region’s highest-profile prosecutions: Lee Boyd Malvo, one of the men responsible for the Beltway sniper attacks of 2002, and Mir Aimal Kasi, who killed two people outside the CIA headquarters in Langley in 1993. Both were convicted.
