BELTSVILLE, Maryland (Reuters) — One adult was fatally shot and a second person was wounded on Thursday (May 5), in a shooting on the grounds of a high school in Maryland that “appears to be a domestic-related” incident, police said.
The Prince George’s County Police Department said it received reports of gunfire at High Point High School in the community of Beltsville, Maryland, about 15 miles northeast of Washington.
“One adult fatally shot, second wounded at High Point HS in Beltsville,” the department said on Twitter. “Preliminarily, this appears to be a domestic-related shooting.”
Further details were not available. It was not immediately clear what triggered the shooting, or whether students were involved. A representative for the school could not immediately be reached for comment.
Photos posted online by local media showed police and fire vehicles and officials in a crowded parking lot near the school’s auditorium.
