A Virginia State Police trooper responding to a reported road‑rage incident on I‑495 confronted a knife‑wielding suspect and shot him in apparent self‑defense after a stabbing that left a 39‑year‑old woman, identified as Michele Adams, and a dog dead and three others — Dana Bonnell, Mary C. Flood and Heather Miller — injured. The suspect was identified as 32‑year‑old Jared Llamado of McLean, a U.S. State Department Foreign Service Officer; the trooper was unharmed, authorities said the attack does not appear to be terrorism‑related and the crash‑scene closures tied up traffic for hours.
