As Judith Europa described how the father of her children shot and killed three people in a Woodbridge house, she clung to one positive: She and others were alive yesterday because two men were as intent on protecting those they loved as the gunman was on destroying them. Europa said she was lying with four children on the floor of her sister's bedroom Sunday when Anastacio Sanchez-Miranda, 39, slipped into the Grandview Avenue house unnoticed, his jealousy seething. She and the children watched as her sister, Rosario Europa, 24, and brother-in-law, Juan Manuel Guevara, 28, were gunned down. Guevara had placed his body in front of Judith Europa and the children, she said...
The shooting, which occurred about 8:30 a.m., was the third triple homicide on record in Prince William County. The others occurred in 1978 and 2003, police said.
"Fortunately, it's very rare," said Paul B. Ebert, the Prince William commonwealth's attorney. "But when it happens, it's always horrible, and this case is no exception."
Sanchez-Miranda was being held yesterday in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; he went to a relative's house in Scranton after the slaying, authorities said. He is expected to be extradited to Prince William, where he is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony, Ebert said.

when I saw this on the local news it’s the first thing I thought.

I would be willing to bet that, with the exception of the anchor babies, everyone in that house is illegal.
sounds like a safe bet
# Failure to prosecute Lee Boyd Malvo, one of the so-called D.C. snipers
# Failure to obtain a conviction of Lorena Bobbit
# Failure to obtain a conviction of John Bobbit
Ebert (Democrat incumbent since 1968) ran unopposed as the Prince William County's Commonwealth's Attorney in this past election, in spite of a spirited write-in campaign for Ham Sandwich, who campaigned on the ability to do a job at least as good as the current office holder. Lol!
that’s good to hear
ping
I was thinking the same. This is illegal on illegal violence. Wild Indians from Guatemala and Mexico. I'm sorry that people are dead but this is just more Mexican chaos but on US soil
