“Heinous” and “callous” were the words used by Prince William police Chief Barry Barnard to describe the murder of a food delivery worker who was shot and killed at a Manassas-area Denny’s restaurant.
Yusif Ozgur, 56, was shot early Thursday inside the restaurant and was taken to a local hospital where he died from his gunshot wound. Another 34-year-old man, of Rixeyville, was also shot and remains hospitalized. Both were shot in the upper torso, said Barnard.

She described how it took an act of congress to create the commuter railroad, explaining how the host railroads, Norfolk Southern and CSX demanded to be let off the hook an accident were to happen on the tracks used by VRE trains.
