GLENARDEN, Md. (AP) — One person is dead and two others are injured following a shooting late Thursday outside a restaurant at a mall in Maryland, police said.
The shooting happened outside the Silver Diner at the Woodmore Towne Centre shopping mall in Glenarden, police chief Philip O'Donnell told reporters.
