OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — A man was killed Wednesday in a targeted
shooting at the food court at MGM National Harbor hotel and
casino in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, police said.
Detectives were working to determine the circumstances, and
Prince George’s County Police Chief Chief George Nader said at a
news conference that they are searching for the shooter, who was
captured on video.
Officers responded to the shooting just before noon and found
one victim, a man, who died, Nader said. The shooting was not
random, he said. The shooter went to the food court to find the
victim, who was ordering food when the suspect appeared and
opened fire, he said. The shooter and victim did not exchange
any words before the shooting.
Investigators believe the shooter fled in a car. Schools were
locked down until police could determine that the suspect wasn't
on foot in the community, Nader said. There is no active threat
to the community, he said.
Police initially said a second man had an apparent graze wound,
but Nader later said no one else was injured.
