Gunman kills three in double shooting spree in Maryland

A gunman suspected of three people and wounding two others in a double shooting spree in Maryland and Delaware on Wednesday, has been arrested by the police.

The gunman opened fire at a suburban Maryland business park before shooting another man in neighboring Delaware.

“The suspect in this incident has been located and is in police custody,” the Wilmington, Delaware police department said of Radee Prince, 37.

Wilmington Police Chief Robert Tracy earlier told reporters that Prince “is a dangerous individual. This person shot six people in one day” in attacks that were not random.

Prince had been sought “in connection with both multiple shooting incident early this morning in Edgewood, Maryland and another shooting incident at mid-morning today” in Wilmington, Delaware, a statement from police said.

According to police reports, three people died in the first incident at a granite business just before 9 am, while two other victims were transported to trauma centers in serious conditions. A handgun was used in the attacks.

While the shooter still remained at large after the first shooting, there was a lot of panic in the area and the schools in the vicinity were placed on lock-down. The set of popular Netflix show House of Cards was also located in the same area, and it was also secured while the police searched for the shooter.

Gahler said Prince was associated with the company, Advanced Granite Solutions, where the first shooting occurred, near Baltimore.

“This does appear to be a targeted attack, limited to that business,” he said.

One of the victims in the second shooting identified the gunman which helped the police in capturing him.
