Officers were first called at around 9:50 a.m. on Wednesday morning to the 500 block of Retreat Court in Odenton to investigate a reported suspicious death involving a 34-year-old man who was found inside a home suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
According to police, the man's father was also found dead from what is believed to have been a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the Fort George G. Meade Army installation later during the investigation.
No motive for what appears to be a murder-suicide has been released by the police, which is withholding their names pending the notification of their next of kin.
More information is expected to be released.
Anyone with information has been asked to contact the department by calling (410) 222-4731.
