I suggested as much, last Friday, that chances were the "nice kid" might have pulled the trigger on a few of the killings. It just made sense, from the standpoint that if the two were running around, there was probably a pretty high chance the "kid" wanted to join in on "the fun."
So it's not too much of a surprise to see this news out today:
John Lee Malvo, the 17-year-old suspect in the Washington-area sniper attacks, may have been the shooter in at least one of the 10 murders, a Virginia prosecutor is quoted as saying in Monday newspaper reports.
And in a related story...
John Lee Malvo seized his chance after being left alone by FBI interrogators....He leapt on a table and quickly smashed the flimsy ceiling tiles with his fists—then began hauling himself up into a ventilation shaft...Agents dashed into the room, grabbed his flailing legs and wrenched the struggling teenager back down...
Last night the FBI refused to comment on the embarrassing incident at the "secure" and secret federal centre in Baltimore, Maryland.
That last article, has this little tidbit about the famous photo of the two sitting on a sofa...
The pair—who killed ten and wounded three in a 21-day spree— could also be charged with an unsolved murder on America's west coast....Keenya Cook, 21, was killed in February with a single head shot as she opened her front door in Tacoma, Washington State, where Muhammad and Malvo were living at the time....The assassins were friends with her family—and even posed for the now infamous picture together on their sofa...But ex-Army marksman Muhammad, who changed his name from Williams because he converted to Islam, fell out with the Cooks when they befriended his ex-wife.
Now the question is, will the press retract all of those silly "nice kid" headlines?
