The Prince George's County Police Department is investigating a murder-suicide in District Heights.

On August 15, 2014, at approximately 4:40 pm, patrol officers were called to the 1500 block of Addison Road South for the report of a shooting.  Upon their arrival, patrol officers forced entry into the home in an effort to provide aid.  Inside, they found two women and a man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.  One of the women was pronounced dead on the scene.  The surviving man and woman were taken to area hospitals where they both died a short time later.

Detectives believe the shootings are domestic related.  The preliminary investigation suggests the man shot both women before turning the weapon on himself.
