McLean, VA (July 29, 2024) - Nearly 30 years ago, on November 22, 1994, a street-tough named Bennie Lee Lawson walked into the cold case squad office at Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police headquarters and, without saying a word, opened fire. More than 40 shots were exchanged between Lawson and the four officers in the room. FBI Special Agents Martha Dixon Martinez and Mike Miller, and a no nonsense D.C. homicide detective named Henry “Hank” Daly were killed. Another FBI Special Agent, John Kuchta, was shot five times, but somehow managed to miraculously survive. It turned out that Lawson had been labeled a snitch by his fellow gang members and he simply wanted to clear his name. When his job was done, Lawson pointed a gun at his head and pulled the trigger.
