Outside a baby shower in Landover three years ago, Erik Kenneth Dixon snapped. As he argued with his sister and her boyfriend in a parking lot, the 25-year-old man whipped out a .45-caliber Glock and shot her in the leg.
Then he chased down her boyfriend, firing between cars and at the running man's feet until he slipped on wet grass. As the prone man held his hands up in futile defense, Dixon executed him, firing seven times. By law, Dixon was prohibited from owning a gun. He had spent almost three years in prison for shooting at a man. My Twitter feed. Chincoteague. Preschooler Bento.
