54-year-old grandmother of eight run over with her own vehicle in D.C. suburb
An illegal alien from El Salvador has been arrested in the brutal carjacking and killing of a grandmother in Virginia this week, authorities say.
The horrifying incident unfolded just after 11:30 a.m. on Sunday morning in Loudoun County, the wealthiest county in the U.S.
Melody Waldecker, 54, had just parked and was walking into a 7-Eleven store in Sterling when she saw a man getting into her car.
Waldecker tried to stop the suspect, but was run over by her own vehicle as he sped away.
She was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The suspect was involved in at least one more collision with another motorist before being arrested just after 12:15 p.m.
