- On the 7th of October 2002, a Nurse drops her 13-year-old nephew Iran Brown, in front of Benjamin Tasker Middle School in Bowie, Maryland. Less than a second later, a bullet from a long-range rifle tears through his abdomen and leaves him bleeding on the floor. As his aunt-nurse races against time, bound for the emergency room, praying that her nephew will survive… the first question on anyone’s mind would be… why? Why would anyone target a child with that amount of firepower? But Iran Brown’s Aunt knew better. There was no method to this madness. Her nephew was just another unfortunate yet random victim of a coordinated killing spree that was ravaging the Washington Metropolitan Area. And as the police would rightfully fear, her sweet nephew wouldn’t be the last. Welcome or Welcome back to twisted minds. My name is James and today, we are going to deep dive into the cold and dreadfully violent case of the DC Snipers.

Imagine kicking a child off their school bus in the middle of a series of random shootings just for eating candy. The bus driver and local government should've been held responsible for both that and the abhorrent decision to keep schools open during this time.
bus drivers and teachers cream over the power they had over us. with one bus driver we would get written up for not following directions if we did our homework on the bus, if she even suspected our lips were moving because we would clinch our teeth when we expected a bump to throw us in the air she would yell at us for trying to sneak words out. the school i went to would hold kids back as many times as possible to milk the most amount of money per student (they get payed from the government by student) and so they would not teach in class if one kid laughs at anothers joke. the amount of coffee they drank was simply unhealthy and had similar effects of meth and to this day i only drink coffee when it is absolutely needed and i never EVER drink more coffee than a teaspoon can hold in fear of becoming like them.
I found the whole thing really dumb, like why did they assume he wouldn't target children. He is a serial KILLER! I doubt he has the moral compass not to do so.
I doubt he got kicked off the bus just that very day or week 🤦♂️
Just the same, I hope he sued the town for libel....
@@keshi5541 Serial killers MOs usually only include a specific type of person, so if the killer isn't targeting children it isn't unreasonable to think they won't... in most cases. These two were killing at random, with nothing linking the victims, which should've made people realise that kids were not safe just because they hadn't been attacked yet, it's a baffling decision
@@ClikcerProductions
Exactly my point, from their attempts of linking the victims everything was at random like race, gender and even age.
If a psychopath was killing people at random, I don't think the smartest idea would be to open up schools (Its also kind of making a test like whether the person would stoop so low).
Also serial killers actually do kill children (there are many stories of this happening(. I can mention heaps that have done so. They aren't angels bro.
Overall a dumb decision.
The DC sniper killed my cousin Conrad Johnson. One of the saddest funerals Ive ever been to. I live in DC now and was going to school in PG County at the time. I was in Fourth grade.
I’m sorry to hear this may he Rest In Peace.
R.I.P.
Sorry bro

Man this is horrific. Just imagine, your mom, your dad, your sibling, your family and friends randomly being murdered for no reason at all, you lose someone who means the world to you for no reason at all, just someone playing god and picking off people at random.
i know right
Death happens to everyone, people ancestors karma definitely caught up to some of these poor white peoples and other POC
made me think of how people in the middle east must feel when their countries are destabilized whenever the US decides to play God
he was feeling a little mischievous
@@glamspam3327 where did that come from
To think about the fact that these guys would’ve probably never been caught if they didn’t make any contact with the police. Scary shit.
I can't believe it was over 20 years ago this happened. I am 34 now. I was in Maryland and in the area during all this when it went down. It was really weird the psychological toll it takes on you. No one wants to go outside, get gas, go to the store, wait at a bus stop, walk out of a building, wait in the car, or anything. It was so randomized which is what got everyone. You may think, "It could never happen to me" but then out of nowhere, he shot you in the most random of places and you had no idea where it came from. Crazy how it seemed recent.
His name was also Mohammad
It's only been 19 years. Not even 20. Wdym over 20?
it does feel really recent. its weird

Thank you for this, kind sir
I’m 21 and live in the area this is very true I remember my parents telling me stories about this tragedy when I was younger…
Man idk why but this case is making me cry, I can't help but imagine my mom or dad staying just outside the door and suddenly being killed right before my eyes, it has me in literal tears and I really really can't wrap my head around the monster you have to be to do this
I love it that you go straight to the point, no useless talk. Excellent job, I love your show!
I can never understand how someone can just kill another innocent person that didn't do anything wrong, RIP to all those who lost there lives
no it's not.... no matter if you are the most religous or nicest person on the planet if you train your mind to kill, you could kill with a smile on your face
and really all you have to do to train your mind is just imagine killing someone this is why if you in the military they tell you to "take a deep breath and vision your bullet peircing the enemy and just shoot" it's almost like a button to enable killing mode
@@dewmontain123 sounds like u done it before?

This was a rough time for my dad. His gf kicked him out of the house during all this and he had to find a place for me him and my brother to live when all this was taking place. I was 4 when all this happened. He said every day he went to work as a postal worker was some of the scariest times because he spent most of his time outside walking in DC delivering mail.
Hope you and your dad are doing well.
@@fixed5043 right 💯

Damn was he cheating or sum ?
@@bigcaleb1330 Maybe she was? Fathers normally don’t get the kids unless the woman is fucked up. Who kicks out kids? Why blame the dad.
A "Lone Wolf" shooter is one of the most difficult to counter.
and also to figure out motive. If these two guys would have split up,, the death count would have been brutal. No compassion, no remorse , no conscience killers like them are really kind of rare.
Lone wolf shooters are because nobody has friends who wanna shoot it with them.
They were pretty smart if they didn't purposely leave evidence and if I were them I was keep on doing it and randomly stop and won't get caught
@@Unorthodox- Their ego was what beat them. I usually believe Karma doesn't exist, but in a case like this karma shot their ass.

I was a Corrections Officer over the DC Sniper's pod. Surprisingly this man was a role model inmate. I have nothing bad to say about the individual besides the fact he is a cold hearted killer.
You have nothing bad to say to a guy that killed 17 people?

honestly he was still immature and a child when he was molded into a killer by the grown man. shame.
@@lordsheebus O I lowkey wasn't thinking bout that when I replied ngl but I get it now
Role model inmate you officers have such weak minds and easily manipulated
The DC snipers might be the closest thing we’ve seen to the “perfect serial killer” people sometimes talk about. Killing totally at random while remaining untraceable. If it weren’t for his ego tipping the police off to the murder in Alabama, they might have never been caught, or at least not caught for a long time.
I wouldn't even contacted the police at all, people be stupid
Those interstate highway .22LR pistol murders might be even more... Eh, "perfect" than these ones, to be honest.
I’ve heard that most serial killers want to be caught.
Many serial killers wouldn’t have been caught but they want to at some point give more clues to make it more fun for themselves, they also love bragging about their killings so it’s not bad for them to get caught
@@e13kid fame to be remembered
This case still brings shivers to me. I had a baby the end of Sept and every time I had to get up and feed her my husband and I would put the news on and see that another person had been killed. It didn't matter the time, there was always a new victim.
thank God for Mr. Whitney... even when he is tired, he still looking out, and acting accordingly..
if he goes home earlier, maybe the capture never happened..

@@amymichelle282 😊 Likewise
I live in Charles County, I was in high school, I remember my mom yelling “zig zag Brittany” as I walked into school. Our parents were literally telling us to not walk in a straight line to lower our chances of being shot, it was terrifying.
Yep. I remember at outside Metro stations, I would stand directly in the middle of the platform, away from both edges, in an attempt to not be a target. Crazy days.
I’m from Baltimore and never heard of these murders. But I wasn’t watching too much news that year so it makes sense
my mom was a kid when she lived there, and she said her father jokingly shouted out at a gas station "hey sniper over here!" nothing happened, but my mom remembers almost passing out from him saying that.
LOL WTF

Luis Villegas LMFAO

Yo mama daddy play tewww much😂
My mom always told me about how terrifying this was. She was apparently in the Michael’s when the shot was fired
I was a freshman in university in Virginia at the time. All sports games were cancelled (it was soccer/field hockey season) as surrounding schools couldn't travel to our school, we weren't permitted to leave and there were no outdoor games. I stayed in Newport News and didn't go home to Richmond until they were captured. It was actually terrifying. Then again, so is going to school every day now. Just awful.
It’s terrifying to think he pulled the laws leg so many times for him to finally be caught. He could’ve easily gotten away with it for decades, maybe even forever
Fortunately, he was stupid and unlucky at the same time.

I remember this. I was a single mother of 2 young kids and I watched it play out on the news night after night. It was very upsetting to say the least.
I live approx 15-20 min from the I-70 rest stop that they were caught at. I was in 5th grade when this happened and even here in Western MD I can remember the way life changed for those 3+weeks for a lot of folks. We had a large after school event previously scheduled and I remember there being a large police presence there just as precaution. Like a few days later they were caught about 7 exits down from our little town. Who knows where they were headed next.

I vividly remember when this was occurring and the shear terror felt by EVERYONE living in DC. People were terrified even walking from their house to the car!
What a senseless act of violence carried out by a kid who in my opinion was groomed to carry these out.
Even I was terrified and I live in the UK! The way the case was reported gave it a kind of super natural feel.
Yesss I remember as well… the entire DC was on lock down. I remember being stuck on 395 for hours as they thought they spotted the white van. I was so relieved when they were caught. I could finally walk to my car without holding my breath and being paranoid.
@@funtimefranky so humans in the UK pay attention to the news in USA.?
Odd. Always thought it was odd how the internet And basically all entertainment comes from or revolves around the US. I thought or figured that Japan or China was the trend setters or what ever humans will might call it.. Seems like a lot of other countries have opinions or ideas about this country. Even Canada and they're right up the way.. Although the Beeber is from there and the USA loves him! Thee UK brought us some pretty sweet music artist. I'll try and think of one. And NOT Mr 21 savage cuz he is shit. The music here they talk about about guns Nd shooting people constantly , does the UK talk about knives and stabbings.

Excellent video, James.
In October it will have been 20 years
I can't believe how long ago this was. I was in middle school at the time living in a small town just outside of Manassas, so wasn't that far from some of these. Such a tragic and senseless loss of life, my thoughts go out to those families every time something about this case pops up.
My dad was minutes away from probably being shot by these guys. He was near kings dominion for a week training with the sheriffs department and was at a gas station with other deputies and 30 mins after they left two people got shot.

I lived through this. Most of the first wave of killings took place a short distance from my house. In addition, victim Pascal Charlot was a close friend of my father and they were supposed to meet up the night he was killed but my dad wasn't feeling well and avoided his phone call. That still haunts him to this day.
damn
Most likely 🧢 but interesting if true
@@tomahawkinc5971 yeah
Okay
@@mrpeluchito Not cap at all but believe whatever you want to. To be more specific, I did not know Mr Charlot and never met him but my dad was a handyman and people sometimes hired him to lay floor tile at the time and Pascal did really good masonry work or something like that so they sometimes worked together on jobs. Pascal had a sick wife (idk with what) and my dad was supposed to drive him to CVS to get a prescription for her that night. He ate some food my grandmother and I told him not to eat and then got an upset stomach (cheap carry out food) Pascal called him and he was like "Oh no, I don't feel like doing THAT now." and just let the phone ring. My dad and grandma let the phone ring a LOT. So, he avoided the call and Pascal had to walk. He was shot crossing Georgia Ave right near the CVS.

I can't say that all of the gangs were saying that. I just know that the Del Rey Mafia said it A LOT.
DC has had a history of really bad crime though. But not in the suburbs, which is where most of the crime happened
I was living in DC at the time this was going down. Those were crazy days. I'd leave home in the morning knowing that by the time I got to work, someone else would probably have been shot. I also remember the relief and celebration when they were finally caught. People were out in the street, sitting outside eating, and just generally enjoying the city since the threat was gone.

This happened in my area. As a MoCo resident, it was scary as hell. I was in my early 20's and remember asking my mother to not go to work. Crime varies across Montgomery County, but overall this is not the kind of place where people keep doors unlocked, but this was unconventional and scary.
I was a young child living in DC at the time. I was 4 in 1999 during the Columbine Massacre , 6 in 2001 during the 9/11 attacks, and 7 in 2002 during the DC Sniper(s) spree. People were pretty scared and low in morale at the time.

I remember reading about this in our newspapers and on the news here in Australia. It doesn't seem so long ago and this story brings the horror back in all its intensity.
Hi Gordon. What is life currently like in Australia? I was seeing a bunch of videos of your citizens rise up against medical tyrrany. I saw there was arrest of a woman who wouldn't show her V status. Are you guys at war in a sense? Seems scary over there. Not that things aren't heading that way in US
@@brad144k Relax. Life is difficult with Government intervention because of Covid 19 but is not as bad as you may think. It is the usual story of political blame gaming that cause a lot of the problems. The issue with the lockdowns we had were caused by people who are basically 'professional demonstrators'. They were the big news items which made it worse than the general behaviour of most people who followed the rules. Many businesses were in dire straights due to the lockdowns where people weren't able to go to work unless you had an exemption which were issued to essential workers. Unless you were rich and probably a donor to a political party, you couldn't get an exemption other than work but no travel. Rich and famous could which caused a lot of anger with people who couldn't travel interstate to see family or be with loved ones who were sick and dying. We have six States and two Territories making up the country and because different parties were governing that State or Territory, they all made their own rules as to closing their borders for travel. This actually worked and now with most opened up again, there are many cases and I mean many of Covid being reported and death numbers are increasing. We have to wear a mask when shopping also check in with a QR code. A number of people who pass are ones that haven't been vaccinated or sadly, are elderly. We have similar problems as America where you have people who refuse to be vaccinated because they either don't trust the Government (who can blame them) or just on the "I wont be told what to do". Help this helps to answer your query. Stay healthy and stay safe.

It made us all realize that our suburban bubble wasn’t truly safe
I was in either 2nd or 3rd grade when this happened, and didn’t understand the severity until much later, as well as the lengths my mom went thru to keep me and my little brother safe
i don’t live in Dc, but i do live in virginia, this is very terrifying to hear.
@@Autopsyofgrace some of the Virginia shootings happened in Fairfax, mannasas, Arlington, falls church, and even spotsylvania
I was at the parking lot when one of these shootings occurred. I went to rippon middle school in Woodbridge, Virginia and the school was on lockdown for several weeks. It was horrible.
I went to waffle house and right after my parents drove me to micheals so i could use my allowance to buy fabric from micheals because I was going to make my own halloween costume and then the loud popping sound, screams from onlookers and screaching tires sound filled the air. Someone later in the week was assembling bottle and pipe bombs and leaving them on school grounds at rippon middle school which obviously police thought it was the snipers but it turns out it was just some other lunatic playing dangerous games.
I was in high school in northern Virginia when this was happening. It effected everything about our school life for a couple months, especially the way school busses worked.
i went to this middle school a few years ago, it’s weird knowing all of this went down there
This is really scary, I hadn’t even realized this happened the year I was born, I grew up in DC my whole life and it’s scary to think what could’ve happened to my family or even just people in the city.
RIP to all the victims. Definitely did not get enough attention.
Never trust a Mohammad

@@jonathanng138 huh??
Lol wat didn't get enough attention this case was HUGE!!!!🤦🏾♀️💀
@@jonathanng138what has a name to do with this racist
Jesus, that sick man had a literal child help him do these murders. I feel so bad for all the victims in this case. And the commenters who were in the are or directly affected by the killings, I can’t imagine how scary that time was :(
I know this is not a Christian thing to say, but I know damn well that man and that kid are damned to hell. I have more respect for the various other serial killers in history (Jack the Ripper, Golden State Killer, Ted Bundy, etc.) than these sick bastards. And that is REALLY saying something.
This is such an interesting story, and I haven't heard of anything similar to this happen either.
Only just watched you for the first time. Brilliant video and photos, and a lovely voice
I really like this channel!! I remember this story, but you have a way of telling a story that does keep me interested. :)
I'm not sure if it was done on purpose or not, but that transition at 15:49 from FBI lobbying for highly sophisticated tech straight into police showing a sketch of a white van honestly made me chuckle. The entire video up to that point felt so serious and then that just felt so outta left field.
Got a “We Buy Any Car” ad right after mention of the Chevy
You're killing it, in an incredibly oversaturated genre on YT ❤️
You and Dire Trip have really distinguished yourselves in my mind
That Chapter is good too
@@CashelOConnolly love that channel! I didn't include That Chapter in my list because Mike does current or recent cases (most true crime channels do this). But Dire Trip will do list videos focusing on a common thread, and this channel will pick cases from any era - which is what separates them from the pack in my mind
@@CarolineBearoline very true,I might upset you but I don’t really like Charlotte Dobre’s channel. I know it’s unusual but I just don’t think she researches her cases enough
Peace and happiness from Dublin Ireland ❤️🇮🇪🌈
@@CashelOConnolly I don't recognize the name of that individual, so you certainly haven't upset me 🤗 but now I'm kinda curious to see her delivery of a case. Anyway my dear, thanks for the convo! I'm going to "hit the hay" 😴
@@CarolineBearoline I meant Eleanor Dobre’s channel forgive my stupidity. Here’s the TH-cam link to her channel th-cam.com/video/1zRceDqPBNw/w-d-xo.html
I'm from NJ. I was a teenager. My aunt was getting married in NC. For the first time my family an I was nervous traveling through Baltimore/Washington area.
Rest In Peace 🕊️ to all the people who lost their lives for no reason.
I remember watching the news every day during this time, can't believe it was over 20 years ago now
There's also rumors/suspicions of the older guy doing creepy stuff to the 17 year old shooter.
Scariest serial killer ever. Broad daylight you can just be killed and the killer is completely unknown so terrifying.
I remember watching the news when the DC sniper was out, and news reporter told us if we fear for our lives, and we think the shooter is targeting us, then not to walk in a straight line.
"In the hands of anyone, even those untrained, the weapon could be lethal"
... I mean yeah its a firearm
I remember this… what a terribly tragic and heart retching time in our beloved America.
Lived through this. Was in Ashland the day of the Ponderosa shooting. We sat on the floor of our dorm room. Seriously scary stuff
Watched and liked all the videos... Now this channel became one of my favorites keep it up✋✨
Thank you : )
@Ralp Anderson thank you for recommending it...so many interesting videos there too✋
I was born and raised in Fredericksburg,Virginia, where the Michael’s shooting occurred. I was in middle school and it was all we could talk about at the time.
This was over 20 years ago and things like this are still happening to this day! My God, when will this all finally end?
Ty for sharing this. Very interesting. Good job.
A "223 cal" bullet is just a 22 sized bullet.
You make it sound like the sniper was using an anti material rifle lol
Two hundred and twenty three caliber... Another clueless crime nut.
@@cosmicvagrant3980 .223 is pretty much .22
@@123s4m I know this. I find it amusing that the crime channel creator has no clue.
@@cosmicvagrant3980 how is he a clueless crime nut? what does knowlege of specific firearm calibers have to do with crime documntaries lmao??? chill out
@@Alastor.D people who give a fuck about weapons are weirdos
I was in high school at that time, living just outside of Philly.. we were already traumatized from the events of 9/11! The local news kept reporting that they could possibly drive up to PA, we were terrified!
