Summary
Manassas police said Marvin Grant, 37, shot three co-workers at a United Rentals site around 7:11 a.m., killing Richard Lamont, 48, and Christopher Serrano, 33; a third victim was hospitalized in stable condition.
Chief Douglas Keen said the shooting followed an altercation, and Grant had told a co-worker that morning that “three people are going to die,” though investigators said his motive remains unclear.
By 8:20 a.m. authorities had identified Grant and were searching for his silver Toyota Camry when a state trooper spotted it on Interstate 81 heading south.
After a police pursuit, Grant stopped, refused to surrender during negotiations and shot himself at 10:30 a.m.; he later died at a hospital.
The attack left the Manassas community and United Rentals employees reeling as police continue investigating what triggered the workplace killings.
