Incident Details

On Tuesday afternoon, there was a shooting at the Washington National Cemetery in Prince George’s County.

On Tuesday, Maj. David Blazer of the Prince George’s County Police held a news conference to announce that police had received multiple reports of a disturbance at a cemetery shortly after 1:15 p.m. Upon arriving, officers discovered a man and woman with gunshot wounds. Sadly, the man passed away.

“The adult female is being treated for non-life-threatening wounds at this point,” Blazer stated.

He added that the victims “were not directly related to the funeral of the 10-year-old,” and that authorities deducted that the shooting was “totally unrelated to what was going on with the funeral.”

Blazer went on to confirm that a suspect is in custody and investigators are “looking into the circumstances of that arrest to see if it’s related.”

The authorities have not revealed the names of the victims or the alleged shooter. They have also not stated if the funeral was able to proceed after the occurrence.
