Mia Khalifa has spoken of having to “watch out for serial killer snipers” while going to school during the Washington D.C. sniper attacks.
The former porn star moved from Lebanon to the US with her family in 2001 but just a year later, murderers John Allen Muhammed and Lee Boyd Malvo spread panic when they embarked on a killing spree.
Khalifa's family lived in Maryland, where eight of the 15 sniper attacks took place.

Khalifa quote tweeted a social media post which said: “Dc sniper was really smoking people at random for 3 weeks straight and they didn’t close school not one damn time.”
She added: “No for real, we went to school everyday with the warning to “watch out for stray bullets” ??????????????? That Wizards rebrand makes more sense every day.”
Washington's NBA basketball team changed their name from the Bullets to the Wizards in 1997.
She later added: "I left Beirut for this…." followed by a laughing emoji.
Muhammed and Mayo killed 17 people and injured 10 others during their killing spree, which targetted civilians.
Having carried out a series of shootings between February and September 2002, the pair then spent three weeks picking off targets with a sniper rifle in October of the same year before being caught.

Muhammed was executed by lethal injection in 2009, while Mayo – who was 17 at the time of the killings – is currently serving a life sentence.
Khalifa's tweet comes a day after she offered prayers to the people of El Paso following a mass shooting in a mall where she used to work.
One person was killed and three others wounded during the incident in Texas, where Khalifa attended university.
“I worked at this mall, holy f***… praying for El Paso,” she said on social media.
