At approximately 6 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 1, officers from the Prince George's County Police Department were called to the 2500 block of Lazy Acres Road in Clinton to investigate a reported shooting.
Upon arrival, Prince George's County Police Major David Blazer said that they found two adults with gunshot wounds who were both pronounced dead at the scene. Two others, an adult and a minor, were also located and transported to an area hospital with undisclosed injuries.
Police say that the murders “do not appear to be a random act,” though information about a suspect or motive has not been determined.
“We’re working to determine what happened here. We’re talking to family members to determine what happened, but there is no danger to the community, this was a domestic-related incident,” Blazer said, adding that there were several people inside the home at the time of the fatal incident.
“Any loss of life is terrible, so whether it’s (Jan. 1, Jan. 3), or any other day, it’s senseless,” he continued. “Our concern now is to try to understand what happened here and get to the bottom of that.”
