Shooter kills man, self in Rockville crime linked to Laurel domestic attack, police say
Two men are dead, and a woman is in critical condition after a pair of shootings in Rockville and Laurel, Maryland, that police say could be connected.
Montgomery County police said officers responded to the 14900 block of Southlawn Lane in Rockville for a double shooting just before 8 a.m. Thursday.
A 60-year-old man who was critically injured was found in a grassy area near a sidewalk. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead, police said.
Witnesses told police they saw a dark-colored Toyota Tacoma pickup truck leaving the scene.
Officers then spotted a gray Toyota Tacoma nearby, close to Norbeck Road and Avery Road.
Inside was a 54-year-old man who appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The bodies of both men were taken to the office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine the manner and cause of death, Montgomery County police said.
The vehicle was linked to a domestic attack that happened on the 14200 block of Westmeath Drive in Laurel the night before, according to the Laurel Police Department.
In that shooting, a woman was critically injured. She’s stable but remains in the hospital, police said.
“The vehicle that fled the scene of this domestic incident has been located and connected to the double shooting” in Rockville, Laurel police said.
Laurel police responded to the scene in Rockville, which occurred nearly 20 miles away from the initial shooting.
Montgomery County and Laurel police are working to determine whether the man found inside the Tacoma was involved in the Laurel shooting, Montgomery County police spokesperson Shiera Goff said.
Police haven’t released the names of the shooter or victims, nor information on how they may have known each other.

A US Air Force helicopter made a precautionary landing in northwest Washington, DC late Monday, local media reported.
The incident occurred at approximately 9.25 p.m. (0125GMT Tuesday) when a UH-1N Huey helicopter assigned to the 1st Helicopter Squadron at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland landed along Foxhall Road near Whitehaven Parkway NW, close to the Georgetown Reservoir.
All four crew members who were on board are safe, according to media reports.
Maintenance personnel and law enforcement officials remained at the scene into the early hours of Tuesday as authorities assessed the aircraft and investigated the circumstances surrounding the landing.
See what a ‘super’ El Niño could bring
USA TODAY Network reporter Brandi D. Addison breaks down what a strong El Niño could mean for weather patterns across the country.
It may be the middle of July, but the Old Farmer’s Almanac is already looking ahead to the fall with cooler temperatures ahead.
The Almanac, which has been one of the most trusted weather prediction sources for more than two centuries, recently released its fall forecast, showing a wide range of weather throughout the United States.
But what about in the Washington DC region? Here’s what the Almanac says.
What is the fall weather forecast in the Washington DC area?
DC sits along the Almanac’s Atlantic Corridor, and that region should expect a “cool, dry” fall, according to the forecast.
“Expect cooler and wetter conditions than usual this fall,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac says. “Below average temperatures are forecast, along with an uptick in precipitation over traditional averages.”
Last year, DC received 6.53 inches of rain during September, October and November — significantly lower than the city’s 30-year average of 10.50 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
September’s average temperature was 72.2 degrees, with October at 60.3 and November at 49.9 degrees. The season had an average temperature of 60.8 degrees, slightly below the 30-year average of 61.0 degrees.
What does the Farmer’s Almanac say about winter in Washington DC?
In its long-range forecast, the Almanac forecasts above average temperatures this winter in DC with snowfall below normal.
“The coldest periods will occur in mid- to late-December and early and late January,” it says. “The snowiest periods will be in late December, early January, and late February.”
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says it is 80% accurate, but a 2017 University of Illinois study found it to be just 52% accurate.
