ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Three people were killed and three wounded in a shooting Sunday night at a house in Maryland's capital city, police said.

Annapolis Police Chief Edward Jackson told reporters at a media briefing that the shooting stemmed from what he described as an “interpersonal dispute” and that there was no further threat to the public.

“It’s a very active and fluid investigation. We’re still trying to determine everything that occurred. We’re still piecing it together. We have a lot more work to do," Jackson said.

He declined to elaborate on the relationship between the people involved, but said those killed ranged in age from their 20s to their 50s. He said that authorities hadn't established a firm motive for the shooting.

They have the suspect in custody and have the gun.
As more guns are bought and available---legally or illegally,--It seems more and more disputes are being settled with guns--over and over we read of this type of shooting.
And this is the BIG PROBLEM--get angry--pick up a gun--because it is available!!

People will use the tools they have available.

No tools? Fists.

Guns everywhere? Murder is the inevitable result.

The forum hosts reviewed an alert and agreed that this is not important news of national interest. Ok to repost in GD, of course.
