The attack took place on a narrow pedestrian walkway where Bolich happened to be working as a contractor.

Ammons told police he was walking across the Frederick Douglas Memorial Bridge and the devil was talking to him about the wrath of fornication. That's when police said he saw Bolich and attacked him with a pocket knife.

Bolich once lived with his family on Rockwood Avenue in Mt. Lebanon.

Ammons told police he moved to D.C. to prepare for the end of the world. He told them he had been living in the woods.
