A teenage girl was shot and killed in her own bedroom early Sunday morning. Police are saying the suspected shooter, a 15-year old boy, shot her mother, the girl, and then himself.
Police say it happened around 2 a.m. New Year’s Day when the mother heard a scuffle in her teenage daughter’s bedroom. She entered and saw the suspect, who fired a shot at her, and then her daughter, before shooting himself in the head.
Police say the daughter, 16-year-old Charlotte Zaremba, was taken to Howard County General Hospital where she later died from gunshot wounds.
The suspect, who was not identified by police because of his age, was taken from the girl’s bedroom to the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Shock Trauma Center, where he remains in critical condition, police said.
Suzanne Zaremba was treated for a non-life threatening injury and released.

ReplyDeleteSo. Damn. True.
ReplyDeleteIf the "suspect" isn't named, why name the victim who is also underage - and dead?
ReplyDeleteSuspect is dead now too...such a tragedy. It's about 20 mins from where I am so all over the news.
ReplyDeleteWBAL is now naming the shooter. He was 15.
ReplyDeleteMy son is 15. And I look at him, and every single one of his friends, and I know with absolute certainty that none of them would ever behave like this. W.T.F.
