Police say the two suspects in the series of sniper shootings in the
Washington, D.C. area have been charged with capital murder in the
Montgomery crime.
John Allen Muhammad, 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17 are now in federal
custody. They face multiple murder charges that could result in death
sentences, depending on where they are finally tried.
Ten people were killed and four others wounded in the Washington-area
shootings. In addition to the Zelda Road ABC store murder, the two have
also been charged in a fatal shooting in Louisiana, in which the victim
was also shot and robbed after closing up a business.
