Snipers John  Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were indicted Thursday on six counts of murder in Montgomery County. Each is charged with murdering six people in the county between Oct. 2 and Oct. 22 2002, including four who were shot and killed within a three-hour span Oct. 3. Prosecutors say if convicted, Muhammad could be sentenced to death, while Malvo, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, faces six consecutive life sentences. Ten people died and three were wounded during the shootings that terrorized metropolitan Washington and involved police from Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia on a regionwide manhunt. |
