BETHESDA, Md. (WJLA) – A man and a woman have died from injuries sustained in two separate shootings at a Giant grocery store in Aspen Hill and Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda Friday morning, according to police.

Montgomery County Police responded to 7101 Democracy Blvd. at approximately 11:30 a.m. to investigate reports of the Montgomery Mall shooting.

An investigation revealed three people were shot during the incident. One man was killed and a second was reported to be in critical condition. A woman also sustained non life-threatening injuries, according to police.

The second shooting was reported shortly after at a Giant grocery store located in the 13700 block of Connecticut Avenue at approximately 11:50 a.m.

The victim in that shooting, a woman, died from her injuries, according to police.

There was speculation that the suspect in both of the shootings was 62-year-old Eulalio Tordil, who was already wanted in connection with the shooting death of his estranged wife Gladys Tordil Thursday at High Point High School in Beltsville in Prince George’s County, sources told ABC7.

Tordil was thought to be driving a four door, silver sedan with Pennsylvania tags (JZA-0123), ABC7 learned. Police advised media in the area to take shelter, as the suspect was still at large and could be nearby.

All Montgomery County public schools and the Montgomery County Recreation Department were placed on “shelter in place” status while the investigation into the shootings was ongoing. At about 2 p.m. the schools shelter in place was lifted.

Suburban Hospital and the National Institutes of Health were also placed on lockdown following the shootings.

No further information was immediately available.
