Rampage of a self-styled god ends in a deadly sprawl
A Washington area rifle spree begins with a shot at a Michaels store in Aspen Hill and unfolds across Montgomery County and northern Virginia. Victims include James D. Martin, Prem Kumar Walekar, Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera, Pascal Charlot, and others, all killed by a single long-range .223 caliber bullet. As the search widens, a tarot card near a shell casing and a chilling note suggest a self-appointed killer calling himself God.
