WOODBRIDGE, Va. (AP) Three persons were killed and two wounded last night in a shooting after a child's birthday party. Police arrested a suspect hours later in Pennsylvania.
Anastacio Sanchez-Miranda, 39, was arrested at about 2:30 p.m. at his sister's house in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., six hours after the shooting at the Woodbridge home was reported, police said.
Investigators think the shooting was part of a domestic dispute, said First Sgt. Kim D. Chinn of Prince William County Police Department. She also said the mother of Mr. Sanchez-Miranda's children was at the house but unharmed.
The woman, who police think was the intended target, had stayed overnight at the house with her three children after a birthday party for a 2-year-old, Sgt. Chinn said.
Sgt. Chinn said Prince William detectives were on their way to Pennsylvania to interview the suspect.
Police have identified the dead as Juan Manuel Guevara, 28, Rosario Europa, 24, and Gerardo Lopez-Garcia, 25 all residents of the house.

All legally here too, I’m sure. /s
No immigration status.....are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
Dirty Sanchez
Just committing the murders Americans won’t.
Neither the Post nor the Times nor WMAL bothered to identify the immigration status of these people. Ahem. It will probably come out in the wash at some point when he is arraigned or tried. But here were all these unrelated adults living in that house, all probably owning vehicles parked in the yard, with crappy mufflers, I can just imagine...bet the neighbors were thrilled, and now this. Oh, and I wonder if they watched the debate on Univision last night.
“Investigators think the shooting was ...” and
“The woman, who police think...”
good reporting! Now I wait to hear how it is ‘all Bush fault’.
But, but...it WAS Bush’s fault. And of course the racist bastards in Northern Virginia are to blame, too.
The MENSA contingent is due any second condemning us for "generalizing".
Unfortunately the odds are overwhelming that the suspicions will be confirmed.
Unfortunately for all the legal Americans of latino extraction who are not driven by a poor excuse for a culture...
I'm thinking that with a hyphenated last name, that this person, at least, was home grown. I don't think that hyphenated last names are that big in Mexico, although they DO have a custom of listing all their names if they want to... just not hyphenated like that. Then again, I could be wrong, as an American of hispanic decent, I am quite out of the loop on things hispanic I suppose..
So, it’s not just leftists that try to disprove your 99% observation by pointing out the 1% that don’t fit?
(My favorite: Muslims aren’t terrorists - ever heard of Timothy McVeigh?)
Maybe the guy's middle name is Lopez,,,,,perhaps the reporter hyphenated the name, who knows!
Where abouts: Currently booking passage on The Cleveland Steamer
Could be his mother’s maiden name?
Must be another one of those Amish people. :)
True but when that guy deports them they stay deported.
Well, yes and no. People in Mexico, and Latin America, all have two last names, their father’s last name, and then their mother’s last name. There is no hyphenation. Trouble is, when they come here, Luis Ruiz Mendoza gets listed as Luiz Mendoza {which also can make him sound illegitimate because it is his mother’s last name}, when he really is Luis Ruiz, that is, his father’s last name was Ruiz, and in this country, we use our fathers’ last names, and they use their fathers’ last names, too. So these people have to hyphenate to get their real last name onto the page, onto the list, into the phone book, etc. When I lived in El Paso there was a terrible problem with people getting put in jail and not getting out because the jailers would call out the wrong name of the guy who was being released. For instance, if Luis Ruiz was getting release, the jailer would call for Luis Mendoza, to which he of course didn’t answer or step forward, BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT WHO HE CONSIDERED HIMSELF TO BE. It was a real problem, until the Sheriff’s Department began hyphenating their names when they were locked up.

I see, so the hyphenation, in that case, was for necessity, not for “vanity” (I realize there are other reasons for hyphenation as well, but I always felt that it was a feminist kind of thing), as is the case with “Anglos”, or whatever.
Roberto Clemente’s last name was Walker. I wonder how many people know that.
