Maryland Shooting: At least three people were killed and three others wounded in a shooting at a home in the state’s capital city on Sunday, a Maryland police chief said.
Annapolis Police Chief Edward Jackson told reporters at a media briefing that the shooting was described as a “interpersonal dispute” and did not pose a threat to the public.
“This is a very active and fluid investigation. We are still trying to determine everything. We are still piecing it together. We have a lot more to do,” Jackson said.
He declined to elaborate on the relationships between those involved, but said those killed were in their 20s to 50s. He said authorities had not established a concrete motive for the shooting.
“It was not random,” Jackson said, noting that the victims “died outside the home”.
Several police cars were seen in the residential area where the shooting took place south of the city center and near the waterfront. Jackson said officers responded to the shooting around 8 p.m.
The police department confirmed in a news release that several people were injured and one of them was taken to a trauma center. A police statement said one suspect was in custody and posed no danger to the public.
