How did a minor crash turn into such a devastating tragedy?

A US Foreign Service Officer klled a woman and a dog, and wunded three other people in a road rage stbbing attack over the weekend before he was gnned down by police.

Jared Llamado, 32, attacked four women in the southbound lanes of Interstate 495 in Fairfax County at around 1.20pm on Sunday following what authorities described as a minor traffic collision.

Michele Adams, 39, and Llamado’s own dog d*ed as a result of their injuries, WJLA reports.

Dana Bonnell, 36; Mary C Flood, 37; and Heather Miller, 40, were also injured in the stbbing spree before Llamado was sht d*ad by a Virginia State Police trooper, authorities announced.

Llamado’s LinkedIn account shows he had worked as a diplomatic technology officer at the US State Department since September 2024, where he managed technology infrastructure supporting diplomatic operations.

State Department officials later confirmed his employment to Fox News Digital, identifying him as a Foreign Service Officer and stating: “We extend our deepest condolences to all those affected by this tragedy.”

Dispatch audio indicated the situation escalated quickly after the collision, with reports that multiple victims were in the roadway.

Disturbing video shared on social media appeared to show a man wielding a large knife and attacking the victims.

Officials said the attack followed the minor traffic crash on Interstate 495 Sunday afternoon.

When a Virginia State Police trooper arrived at the scene, Llamado allegedly confronted him with a knife. The trooper then opened fire in self-defense, according to authorities.

Llamado was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later d*ed from his injuries. The trooper was not hurt and has been placed on leave pending the outcome of an investigation into his use of force.

State Police are also investigating the cause of the initial crash, which forced the closure of the southbound lanes of the major highway for several hours.

Drivers who witnessed the aftermath expressed shock at the violence that unfolded on the Washington DC Beltway.

“There’s no reason to pull out a knife,” one man told NBC Washington. “I mean, what did that solve? Nothing.”

He added that the incident serves as a stark reminder that “it could happen to everybody.”

“Everybody just needs to cool down, calm down,” the driver said. “There’s no need for it.”

Authorities are urging anyone with information about the st*bbing spree to contact Virginia State Police.
