Police in two Maryland jurisdictions are investigating a suspected murder-suicide after they say a man killed his girlfriend, his ex-wife and then himself Saturday.
Howard County police responded to the 7300 block of Eden Brook Drive in Columbia for reports of gunfire just after 2 p.m., a spokesperson said at a press conference Saturday evening.
Officers found the bodies of two adults who had been shot, a man who they believe to be the suspect and a woman who they believe was the man’s ex-wife, in the vestibule of an apartment building, police said.
"We believe that the suspect... came to the area, sought out the female victim, shot and killed her and then shot and killed himself," the spokesperson said.
