Police: Man killed uncle, then himself in Glen Burnie
BALTIMORE -- Police said a man shot and killed his uncle and then turned the gun on himself in Glen Burnie Wednesday night.
Officers are investigating the murder-suicide in the 7300 block of Red Pond Court.
Investigators believe 27-year-old Daniel Amponsah of Greensboro, North Carolina, told family members to meet him at the house.
Amponsah then became angry, showed a gun, and threatened his family.
Officers tried to intervene before anyone was injured. They swarmed the neighborhood and shut down the road.
The tension escalated and eventually they heard gunshots and noticed several people running out of the house.
"As those officers were making their approach to the house and trying to make contact with the occupant, they did hear some yelling some arguing followed immediately by gunshots," Anne Arundel County Police Department spokesman Cpl. Chris Anderson said.
Afterward, officers found two men who had been shot, Amponsah, and his uncle, 47-year-old Kofi Frempong. Both men died at the home.
"Officers attempted medical aids, but unfortunately, both the male subjects died from their injuries," Anderson said.
Anne Arundel Police have interviewed family members who were inside the home at the time of the shooting, according to authorities. They are still searching for a motive.
