RICHMOND, Virginia - (AP) - Convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad willdie by lethal injection when he is executed next month.
Virginia Department of Corrections spokesman Larry Traylor says
Muhammad declined to choose between lethal injection and
electrocution, so under state law the method defaults to lethal
injection.
Muhammad is scheduled to be executed on Nov. 10 for the October
2002 slaying of Dean Harold Meyers at a Manassas gas station during
a string of shootings.
In all, 10 people were killed were in four states, including
Alabama and Louisiana, before Muhammad and a co-defendant moved on
to Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia for a rampage
that terrified residents of the D.C. region. Six people also were
wounded.
Muhammad's teenage co-defendant Lee Boyd Malvo is serving a life
sentence.
