law enforcement

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - A funeral is being held for a Maryland woman who police say was fatally shot by a federal security officer now charged with three murders.

A spokeswoman for the Catholic Church says a funeral for 65-year-old Claudina Molina of Silver Spring is being held Monday at St. Jude Catholic Church in Rockville.

Molina was fatally shot May 6 in a parking lot outside a supermarket in Aspen Hill. Police say she was shot by 62-year-old Eulalio Tordil, who was apparently trying to carjack her.

Police say Tordil first fatally shot his wife and less than 24 hours later killed Molina and a man who tried to come to the aid of another woman Tordil tried to carjack.
