CHEVERLY, Md. (AP) — Police say they're seeking answers for why a gunman opened fire outside a police station in a Maryland suburb of the nation's capital, killing an officer in what the police chief called an "unprovoked attack."
Prince George's county police chief Hank Stawinski says the shooter opened fire on the first officer he saw outside the station around 4:30 p.m. Sunday. A gun battle followed, with several officers shooting at the suspect, who was wounded.
On Sunday night, hours after the shooting, Stawinski had few answers for reporters about what led to the gunfire. He said the shooting suspect and another man were arrested.
"It wasn't about anything," he said of the shooting.
