ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - Police say attempted carjackings were the likely motivation at two shooting scenes in suburban Maryland parking lots that left two people dead.
Sixty-two-year-old Eulalio Tordil was arrested Friday after a two-day shooting spree at three separate crime scenes. The first occurred Thursday, when police say Tordil fatally shot his estranged wife, Gladys Tordil, in a high-school parking lot. She had recently obtained a protective order against him and was the first of the three deaths.
On Saturday, police released new details about the final two shootings, which occurred Friday. Assistant Chief Russ Hammill with Montgomery County Police said they now believe Tordil was trying to carjack his victims, but that they resisted.
In all, Tordil now faces three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder related to the shooting spree.
