The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating a domestic-related double murder in West Laurel.

On May 13, 2013, at approximately 10:00 am, patrol officers responded to the 16100 block of Malcolm Drive after a man called 911.  The caller said he had killed his family and threatened to kill himself. Patrol officers arrived on scene as the Special Operations Division’s Conflict Management Team was en route.  Officers on the scene successfully negotiated the man’s surrender and placed the 59-year-old into custody.

Investigators found two women inside the home.  Both adults had been fatally shot.  They were pronounced dead on scene.  They are the suspect’s wife and stepdaughter.

Two surviving victims, the suspect’s teenage son and another man, are cooperating with the police investigation.  The teenager was shot at, though neither male was injured.
