I was just going to ask if anyone knew why Billingsley Rd was blocked by sheriffs - I went to work about 2:40 and was detoured. Then on the way home I took another way and Middletown was blocked off near Turkey Hill Rd. I could see a helicopter and I knew it was in the vicinity of Billingsley Rd. How sad.
I wonder if this was a road rage incident or a case of domestic violence..either way how horrible and frightening!!!
Sadly, one was a teacher at north point.
Local Teacher Victim to Fatal Shooting at Busy Intersection - Southern Maryland News, Charles County, Calvert County and St. Mary's County News
Same address too. The shooter was also due in court today.According to the Case search ( Maryland Judiciary Case Search ), the 'victim/teacher' in the shooting was just served a summons on the 9th of this month for;
THEFT:$10,000 TO UND $100,000
MOTOR VEH/UNLAWFUL TAKING
ROGUE AND VAGABOND
And Robert Becker has had an outstanding warrant for his arrest since last year - drug related charges.
Might not have been so random?

Haven't actually looked up the Maryland Judicial website yet but it doesn't appear from what I see posted here that either person was a convicted criminal. So the tenor of the discussion needs to change from 'If only criminals didn't break the law and get a gun' to something like 'Since they were neighbors, wonder if there's a love triangle, property line dispute or defacating dog between them.'

That's the irony of anti-gun laws. The criminals obviously aren't going to obey them. However, the law-abiding citizen who got into a bar room fight 30 years ago and has a 2nd degree misdemeanor assault conviction because of it but has not gotten into any trouble since then cannot legally own a firearm to protect his family. It's true. If you have been convicted of a crime in which the penalty could have resulted in a jail or prison sentence of more than a year for federal offenses or two years for state offenses, you cannot legally own a firearm. That means getting convicted of urinating in public in some states (such as MD, where this is punishable by up to 3 years in jail) results in loss of rights to own or possess a firearm. It matters not what you are actually sentenced. It only matters what the potential sentence carries.
Lenny,
Do you have me on ignore?
Mr. Becker was convicted of 3rd degree burglary, went to jail and was out on supervised probation.
