Two dead in suburban Washington shootings

May 07, 2016 01:52

Two people were killed and two others wounded in a pair of shootings on Friday in the suburbs of Washington, and authorities sought a federal law enforcement officer.

The police put out a bulletin seeking help in locating Eulalio Tordil, a 62-year-old officer in the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Protective Service.

Tordil is sought in the Thursday's shooting death of his wife at a school in Prince George's County, Maryland, which occurred on the eve of the two incidents in adjacent Montgomery County.

On Fridya, gunfire broke out at the Westfield Mall in Bethesda, with one man killed and two people wounded.

A second shooting later at a supermarket in nearby Aspen Hill, Maryland left one woman dead.

"This continues to be a very active investigation," Montgomery County police Captain Paul Starks told reporters.

"We're still looking at the possibility that these shootings here (in Bethesda) and the shooting in Aspen Hill are related."
