Virginia Police release surveillance video of suspects wanted in a deadly shooting at Denny’s shooting
Raw video: Virginia police searching for suspects in deadly Denny’s shooting.
The FBI and police are seeking two crooks who held up a crowded Virginia Denny’s and shot two people, killing one of them -- a DoorDash delivery driver picking up an order.
Prince William County police released surveillance video showing the two robbers entering the Denny’s in Manassas overnight Thursday. They were armed with a gun and a baton.
"This is a heinous crime,” Police Chief Barry Barnard said, according to WJLA-TV. “People eating at a Denny's at two o'clock in the morning, enjoying their time there, enjoying their friends, and people arrived to commit a robbery. And without any provocation, everyone cooperated, there were about 20 people in the restaurant, everyone cooperated, no resistance -- they shoot two people. And one is murdered."
The crooks ordered the victims to surrender their wallets and cell phones, police said. They left without taking any Denny's cash receipts.
