MANASSAS, Va. (AP) — A man shot three co-workers during an
altercation Wednesday at a northern Virginia business, killing
two of them, before he took his own life during a police
standoff along an interstate highway, police said.
Marvin Grant, 37, of Charlotte, North Carolina, opened fire at
an equipment rental business in Manassas, about 30 miles (50
kilometers) southwest of Washington, D.C., Manassas Police Chief
Doug Keen said at a news conference.
Keen identified the two workers who died as Richard Lamont, 48,
and Christopher Serrano, 33. A third worker was in stable
condition at a hospital in Fairfax, the chief said.
Grant fled in a vehicle and detectives tracked his cellphone to
the Harrisonburg area, Keen said. Grant later pulled over on
I-81 in Augusta County and fatally shot himself during a
standoff with Virginia State Police. A state police statement
said troopers did not use force.
The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, Keen said.
