Suspect in custody in shootings at mall, grocery store, high school



One man was fatally shot and two other people were injured in the parking lot at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda on Friday morning and authorities are investigating whether the assailant is a man believed to have shot and killed his wife outside a Maryland school Thursday evening.

Soon after the mall shooting, a woman was fatally shot at a grocery store several miles away, and authorities believe the same shooter may be responsible.

He was captured at a strip mall across the street, apparently having enjoyed a leisurely lunch at the Boston Market (eyewitness says he was in there for at least an hour). He never left the Aspen Hill area, it would seem.

I just need to thank DU because I live very close to this situation and I was heading to the local Taco Bell (don't judge), which is right next to the Boston Market, but decided to hop on DU first, which is where I learned of the shootings so close to my neighborhood.
