Shootings at Two Maryland Malls Leave Two Dead, Two Injured: Police


Shootings on Friday at two Maryland shopping centers eight miles apart killed two people and injured two others, police said.

It was unclear whether the two incidents in the Washington, D.C., suburbs were related, and no suspects were in custody.

Authorities said they had identified a person of interest. They were also looking into whether Friday's incidents could be tied to another shooting a day earlier.

The violence started at around 11:30 a.m. ET at the Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, where two males and one female were injured by gunshots in the parking lot, Montgomery County police said. One male later died at the hospital, police said. Another was in critical condition, and the female had non-life-threatening injuries.
