A prison spokesman says John Allen Muhammad died by injection at 9:11 p.m. Tuesday at Greensville Correctional Center.
Muhammad was executed for killing Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station during the spree that terrorized Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., over a three-week period. His teenage accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, was sentenced to life in prison.
Prison spokesman Larry Traylor says Muhammad had no final words. He says he didn’t hear him utter a word the entire time.
Below is a fascinating documentary of the story that gripped the nation, and captivated international news, the DC Sniper
They should have let him riot in jail for the rest of his life. That is a lot more painful!!
At 9:11 sweet revenge for 9:11
BDE. This was the right verdict and the death penalty was warranted.
I am glad his punishment is broadcasted as we always hear about the crime being done and howit was done….. giving bright ideas to people but we never hear their punishment. Maybe hearing the punishment as well will put some fear in people to kill so fast.
another “muslim” terrorist
“He was declared dead at 9:11PM EST.”
Considering he was supposed to die at midnight, I find it interesting he was executed earlier, and pronounced at this exact time.
The Liberal’s of the USA have pushed to have lethal injection used as the choice for execution (if and when it finally get’s to that). That in my opinion to far too humane for one who commits such horrific crimes…the punishment should be at least equal to the crime…he should have been shot by a firing squad. I for one don’t miss him.
Thanks be to God for the end of this saga. Let the region have some peace. The death penalty is not wrong. In this case its most especially correct. Every day since he was caught the victims had to live knowing that their tax dollars were supporting him 100%. How offensive that they should have to pay to feed, clothe, house and so on with medical and legal expenses for the man who killed or injured their loved ones. He and his accomplice brought a terror upon the capital region worse than that of 9-11. Its a shame less than a yr of age prevents us from executing Malvo as well. We should streamline the process of the death penalty to make it more effcient and effective. why should one be afraid to get it if you can spend 40 yrs on death row?
I never understand the irony of making sure a prisoner is healthy enough to be executed. Meanwhile…this is good news. Next up: that scum from Ft. Hood.
Rot in hell, Muhammad!
I am never “happy” to see another human being killed for any reason.
However, this man did the crimes and took the lives of 10 people. He 100% deserved the punishment that was handed to him last night, and I appreciate those who were courageous enough to carry out the execution.
