1 dead in Suitland double shooting, Prince George's Co. police say

Two men were sent to the hospital after the shooting. One of the men has died, according to police.

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. — A shooting in Prince George's County has left one man dead and another in the hospital, police said.

Officers were called to Silver Hill Road near Silver Park Drive in Suitland around 4:30 a.m. When they arrived on scene they found two men shot multiple times. Both men were taken to an area hospital for treatment of their injuries. Police said one of the men has died from his injuries. The other man remains in the hospital. The severity of his injuries and his current condition is not known at this time.

Multiple officers were at the shooting scene Tuesday, working to figure out exactly what happened and to determine a motive in the shooting.

A witness on the scene did not want to be identified, but he told WUSA9 there had been a party in a warehouse-type room on the backside of the building. At some point someone started shooting outside of the building and hit the two men.

Police confirmed there was some sort of gathering inside the warehouse. A spokesperson said the two victims ran inside after the shooting. That is where officers found them. 

Police have not yet released any information about a suspect or suspects in this case. No arrests have been made.

Neither victim has been identified by police.
