Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Hello: I have a question about a potential shooting spree I'm thinking of undertaking next summer. According to plan, I would arm myself with a Remington 12gauge, an Alexander Arms .50cal, and a Sig P229 .357 handgun; I'd also use kevlar armor and ballistic helmet w/ night vision. First I'd kill two people in the DC area related to my case, then I'd drive about 2-3 hours to another location where I would kill the prosecutor's wife, then my attorney's wife and kids (I have both addresses). If I have time, I'd also seek out the family of a girl that signed my warrant, killing them also. I figure I'd have about 2 hours, roughly, before police begin targeting my car (even though I'd change cars midway). If cornered, I'd blow my own brains out of course. My question is: would this kind of killing spree likely get the death penalty? Thanks for any help!
