Why does it matter at this point?

Not the PP but I think it’s interesting as to whether he rented/sublet that apartment to target Burke, or whether he rented it independently and Burke was just a shiny thing in his sightline.

How do we know it was even Raymond Spencer in that apartment? How did he get the guns etc. inside? Did other residents ever see him? Reports from neighboring units? The silence on this is strange, no? How about info from the landlord or property manager re this unit. I don't think it's an inexpensive rental. What's the story? Without those details, this story has a huge hole.

That’s the reason police are conducting an ongoing investigation.

I was wondering why they said he was from Fairfax and then announced that they found him dead in his apartment in DC.
By the way, is the young man white?

Fairfax City or County? If this is an important detail, they need to be clear. Otherwise, it's just reporting to report something. "We have a scoop!"

There was a report that DC and Fairfax police raided an apartment linked to the shooter in Fair Lakes Circle.

Latest I saw, yes-but define OK right? What does our city do specifically for crime victims, mounting at an alarming rate. I'm curious if there is a fund or other resources as they /their families rebuild.

Today's metro section said that this allotment had been cut, and the groups that disburse services were complaining. Personally, I'd rather just cut crime victims a check than have them 'receive services' , but I would like them to get something. The way that people's lives, health and livilhood is affected in this city is outrageous and we should support all crime victims - can Charles Allen look at THAT?

Where do we think this is?
“Allison knew Spencer for three years, in grades 6 through 8. They attended the same Catholic school in Rockville, Maryland, which she said was “known for being tough in discipline, but also having really good academics.” The student body was very diverse, because tuition was more reasonable than other schools in the area, according to Allison.”

Supposedly he went to Catholic school through middle school and then a public high school. Where did he go to school?

According to the WAPO story this morning, a couple of people on his floor in the building knew him in a passing through the hallway fashion.

Take a deep cleansing breath. The shooter isn’t at large. The victims and community are being cared for and need to heal. Detectives need time to investigate leads. Chill and be thankful this wasn’t a much worse outcome. I suspect we’ll learn soon enough that there was a lot more ammo and thankfully the weapons had jammed due to a trigger modification.

Not sure but police released that he had been searching Wheaton HS in the days leading up to Friday’s shooting along with “Glenmont station”. And he was previously employed as a lifeguard at the Wheaton-Glenmont pool. There are more people that know this guy but they aren’t coming forward to the media. We need answers!

Victims and community members can’t heal without knowing why they were targets.

This is an ongoing investigation. You and I will just need to be patient.

If you feel the need to do something, contact your representatives about funding mental health services, supporting crime victims and enacting gun control measures.

You’re in the wrong country for gun control measures. At this point there would have to be a constitutional amendment for meaningful change.

He could but you know he won’t.

This city is hopelessly soft on crime.

You get to be the victim.

Nope, he went to Catholic high school in Rockville. So he’s from MD or has family there.

Please stop spreading inaccurate information. It’s not helpful.
