BALTIMORE – A man accused of killing his parents also killed a man and woman who just so happened to stop by a convenience store on a Sunday morning, police say.<\/p>\n
Police say 27-year-old Joshua Green shot three people at a Royal Farms convenience store along Middleborough Road in Essex just before 7:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Two victims were pronounced dead on the scene and one is recovering at a local hospital.<\/p>\n
According to detectives, the suspect left the store and returned home where he set his apartment on fire. Police later found him outside his apartment complex dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.<\/p>\n
Detectives traveled to the home of the suspect\u2019s parents where they discovered the two deceased; both individuals appeared to have been shot.<\/p>\n
Detectives say all three incidents are connected and they are not searching for any additional suspects in connection to these three incidents.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs to why this occurred, we have no idea yet,” Baltimore County Police Col. Andre Davis said at a press conference. “Our homicide detectives are tirelessly investigating a motive, but it appears that the shooter acted alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police Chief Melissa Hyatt told media members there are \u201cmore questions than answers\u201d about the \u201chorrific and sickening event which changed the lives of many people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor now, we know that four innocent people lost their lives and one person sustained serious injuries,” said Hyatt.<\/p>\n
