[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Not WOT, yet. - The terrifying 90-minute ordeal unfolded just 10 minutes from Washington DC on Thursday evening
- The woman, whose identity has not been revealed, was arrested later that night
- The local police chief compared the panic felt in Maryland to the search for the DC sniper in 2002
A woman is in custody after Prince George's County police said she struck five people with a car and stabbed two people -- including a 15-year-old -- in separate incidents in Landover, Lanham, and Capitol Heights on Thursday night.
The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Tanay Stallings-Brown of Baltimore, has been charged with dozens of offenses including multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder, assault, and additional charges related to striking the pedestrians.
According to officials, the incidents appear random, though they stressed that the investigation is still preliminary.
During a press conference Friday, PGPD Chief Malik Aziz said Stallings-Brown has a criminal record with multiple offenses dating back to 2011 in Baltimore.
“In my more than three decades of policing – almost three and a half – I've rarely seen a suspect this determined across this length to inflict harm on innocent people,” Chief Aziz said.
Officials are still working to determine a motive in these incidents.
“We have really no idea why she was here in Prince George’s County,” Chief Aziz said.
