D.C. Sniper Executed

John Allen Muhammad, who terrorized the D.C. suburbs in 2002 along with accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo in a three-week span of sniper attacks that killed 10, was put to death by lethal injection Tuesday night in Virginia. From CNN:

"The mastermind behind the Washington-area sniper attacks of 2002 that terrorized the nation's capital was declared dead at 9:11 p.m. ET, said Larry Traylor, director of communications for the Virginia Department of Corrections.

'There were no complications; Mr. Mohammad was asked if he wished to make a last statement,' Traylor told reporters outside the the Greenville Correctional Center. 'He did not acknowledge this or make a last statement whatsoever.'

In fact, Mohammad, 48, said nothing from the time he entered the death chamber accompanied by guards at 8:58 p.m., Traylor said.

'After he was placed on the gurney and strapped down, he was very emotionless,' Traylor said."

Malvo was 17 years old at the time of the shootings, and thus serving a sentence of life in prison.
