D.C. snipers and answered prayer. (Insider Report).
Ron Lancz doesn't consider himself a hero, but thanks to his alertness and heroic action, D.C. sniper suspects John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo were nabbed, ending a three-week terror spree. Mr. Lancz, a 62-year-old truck driver, was just five hauls short of retirement when he pulled into a rest stop along I-70, fifty miles northwest of Washington, D.C. It was a few minutes before 1:00 a.m., and he had just heard a radio report with an all points bulletin for a blue or burgundy 1990 Chevrolet Caprice. As he pulled into the rest stop, Mr. Lancz noticed a blue Caprice matching the APB description.
He called 911 and then pulled his truck up to block the exit, while another trucker he had alerted pulled his rig up to help block the entrance. Then, unarmed and vulnerable, they waited for law enforcement to arrive and apprehend the suspects, who had eluded police in one of the most intense manhunts in recent history.
"I'm no hero," Mr. Lancz told CNN. "I just want people to think what I did was what I should have done. I'm no hero at this, no hero whatsoever. I don't even want to be thought of as a hero," he said. Lancz then went on to tell CNN about a trucker prayer meeting he had attended the week before where the group had prayed that the murderers would be captured and the terror ended.
"Last Thursday we had 50 drivers and one bunch had a prayer meeting up there 20 miles from where this happened and we thought -- we knew our prayer was going to be answered," ...
