and active shooter in Aspen Hill shopping center, not too far away from Westfield Mall. No further details.

I just left Westfield Mall parking area, when I got home this was on the news. Both shootings occurred about the same time.

Westfield Montgomery Mall near Bethesda.

9. Got it, thanks.

Mom and dad shopped there when I was a kid back in the late 60's. We lived near Gaithersburg.

[DCBob]

10. Yeah, its fairly nice mall in a nice area.

I have not heard of anything like this in that area.

6. Thanks again, gun humpers! You've really screwed us all over.

You sure got us good by destroying our freedom to go out in public without thinking about being shot by some nut with a gun. Your hard work has paid off. Hope you're enjoying all the death and carnage.

[DCBob]

7. There are two shootings.. Bethesda and Aspen Hill.

Yikes.

8. Aspen Hill is right by my niece's school.

Great.

Terrormerica. "Nothing we can do about this", says the only nation where this happens most frequently . . .

11. MSNBC just reported that one victim died

12. ABC7 News is reporting this is related to the High Point shooting yesterday

Suspect is Eulalio Tordil. Wearing body armor.

Reported on their Twitter feed. @ABC7News

13. Looks like he's making the classic mistake of shooting his estranged wife first, then random people,

and then, ultimately, himself, instead of the other way around.

14. Wait, Wut? In the land of Martin O'Malley anti-gun laws?

[maxsolomon]

17. did any of those "anti-gun laws" involve confiscation of weapons?

dude turned in SEVEN weapons after he had a restraining order served against him.

he obviously was able to acquire at least 1 more despite O'Malley's anti-constitutional tyranny.

[B2G]

18. How do you know he didn't have 8 to begin with? nt

[maxsolomon]

19. I don't

He probably had more. His own little arsenal. Obviously O'Malley has failed utterly in his gun-grabbing.

15. About the suspect:

Court records show a domestic violence stayaway order had been filed against Eulalio Tordil on March 3, as part of a custody case with Gladys Tordil.

In the court’s final order, entered March 17, Eulalio Tordil, of Adelphi, was ordered to stay away from his estranged wife, her residence and her place of employment. A Prince George’s Public School website lists Gladys Tordil as an employee at Parkdale High School.

In addition, Eulalio Tordil had been ordered to turn over his firearms in the March 17 ruling.

Tordil is employed as a law enforcement officer with the Federal Protective Service.

After the ruling, FPS placed him on administrative duties, and removed his service weapon, badge and credentials. He is now on administrative leave, according to an FPS official, who says the agency is cooperating with Prince George’s County police.

Tordil turned over his service weapon to the Prince George’s County Office of the Sheriff on March 6, and handed over six more weapons on March 17, when the final order became effective.
