Living in the Northern Virginia suburbs at the time, I remember counseling my teens what gas station they should go to and to sit inside the car while pumping gas. I remember parking at walmart and other stores and running full speed to get inside the doors. I remember waking up each morning and turning on the news and hearing yet another person was shot. I was a young brown hair woman living in Queens hitting the clubs during the 70s son of sam era. I remember it felt the same. Very frightening. I'm glad they caught them all.

This happened just after I got my first car and moved to Charlottesville (from Massachusetts) for grad school. I was petrified to get gas then - we all were, because we didn't know how far south the sniper would go. I still don't like to get gas at night. It'll probably always be there in the back of my head - that I should fill up the gas tank only at well-lit places during the day, and in a place where there are plenty of people watching me.

I remember the government bungled the investigation and badly. Thank Chief Moose for that. I was in law enforcement at the time and remember reading the description of the look out for the dark colored Caprice occupied by black or Hispanic males right after the first shootings. That was the exact description. Somehow Chief Moose got ahold of the investigation and changed the outcome with his "white van occupied by white male(s)." You have to wonder how many additional people were murdered because of his idiotic approach to the investigation. The fact is the first description was right on the money and even after the white van idiocy, citizens were still reporting the dark colored Caprice.

I lived on georgia ave and randolph rd went to montgomery college and worked at the glenmont shoppers

I was young for this, but I remember the panic at my friend's Bar Mitzvah party after one of the early shootings. I never understood why parents wanted to leave right after getting word of the shooting. Even as a 13-year-old I knew I was safer in a hotel banquet hall than outside.

As I said in The Atlantic article, I insisted on not altering my behavior or my outlook. Despite my wife's warnings, I kept going to the Y, where I felt safe, even though it turned out the snipers were there for four weeks too. But I did change my behavior in one respect. Pre-sniper, my daily walks had included a stretch on Randolph Road. I changed my route to avoid the exposure of being on Randolph. That was the only thing I changed. Now, my solo walks often are only on Randolph. As I said in The Atlantic article, I still think about this, and was talking today at the Y with one of the attendants who had regular interactions with John Muhammad.

One shooting occurred just a few blocks from my house at a gas station I frequented. I don't think I fully felt the effects of the whole thing until I took my children out of town for a weekend during that time and we actually felt safe - it was stark.

My late wife and I were living in Kensington, where I still reside, and we were both scared to go out anywhere. We kept the venetion blinds drawn and stayed out of the living room and bedroom as much as possible. Was very glad when he was finally captured. I do not believe in the death penalty
but hopefully he will have a great deal to think about for the rest of his life.
May God have mercy and pity on his soul!

I was also young when this occurred and can remember the frantic. It was a difficult time to be in DC.

I was living in Baltimore Country and remember everyone being afraid to go to & from the store, pump gas or stand on a corner to catch a bus. Muhammad & Malvo’s horrific actions forever shattered many people’s lives that year with their random, senseless acts of violence. Malvo claimed to the media this week he "WAS a monster". How about STILL IS & ALWAYS WILL BE a scum-sucking POS who gunned down 10 people, leaving thousands of their loved ones devastated for life. He should have been given the needle with his sub-human buddy. I'll never understand why the media keeps giving scum like this a platform to spew their bulls**t false sincerity. KEEP THE VICTIMS NAMES ALIVE & LEAVE MONSTERS LIKE THIS TO FADE AWAY INTO OBSCURITY WHERE THEY BELONG!

Ironically, most people when asked, (aside from their loved ones) cannot think of one victim's name from the Sniper shootings However, Muhammad & Malvo's story is now in Criminal Justice textbooks and their names will forever go down in history as “The D.C. Snipers“. In every sense of the word, that is just WRONG.

In Memory Of Murdered Victims Everywhere

My husband amd i were on our way home to falls church from fairfax on oct 14.. It was dark and we were passed by a black car easily going 20 mph faster than we. As he/she came to opening in the median they made a sharp u turn meeting with another black car. These two cars stopped short and ended nose to nose blocking the other lane.. I remember turning to my husband and saying "the sniper! Those must be fed cars, and they really can do those moves like in the movies!" we rushed home and turned on the tv... It took about 20 minutes before it took over the news channels.. In that moment I realized how dangerous life really could be....
