Yet another shocking violent crime has been committed in broad daylight in Montgomery County, a disturbing new trend in the County's six-year crime wave that has picked up steam this spring. An adult male was fatally shot outside of the Marriott North Bethesda Hotel and Conference Center at 5701 Marinelli Road in Rockville around 11:37 AM this morning. Yes, that's AM, not PM. One would like to assume it would be safe to walk outside this hotel at 11:37 PM. It's astonishing that one now must be hesitant to do so just before lunchtime under bright sunshine.
According to Montgomery County police, officers were dispatched to respond to a report of a shooting outside the hotel. Upon arrival, first responders found an adult male in "serious condition." The victim was subsequently declared deceased, and police say they are investigating the case as a homicide.
@TheDMVLive reports on X that the victim was shot in the back of the head outside the hotel around 11:35 AM, and that the alleged shooter fled on foot toward the White Flint Metro station across Rockville Pike.
Whether it is a gunfight inside a Silver Spring grocery store or outside of a Westbard Avenue bowling alley, a gun being fired at students in a downtown Bethesda park at lunchtime, or someone being shot in broad daylight outside a hotel in White Flint at 11:35 AM, these things were not happening in Montgomery County twenty - or even ten - years ago.
What is happening to our community, and why do we keep electing the people who have done this to us?
But Moore taxes says Maryland is safe
ReplyDeleteThey are earmarked for raises and bonuses.
DeleteNah, put blame where it belongs. Jobs are being cut, no new jobs have been created, & inflation is very high. Point your fingers at the man in the highest office.
DeleteInflation under Biden was 9.1 % in 2022 silly.Gas was over $5.00 a gallon.
DeleteThe Police are the guarantors of public safety,once you start to elevate criminals and ex cons above the Police, your society will become crime ridden and unliveable, if you continue to Intimidate and put Police on trial,our society will be run by criminals and murderers,is this what we want? Its certainly what the criminals want.
ReplyDelete"these things were not happening in Montgomery County twenty - or even ten - years ago. " Then perhaps you should stop living in the past Mr. Happy Days.
ReplyDeleteThe point being that crime prevention techniques of 20 years ago should be re-applied today.
Delete4:50 - under your train of thought we should return to the age of crank start automobiles.
DeleteExcellent idea. Car thefts would be eliminated.
DeleteMontgomery county was once 90% white!

Deletethis type of crime didn't happen in 90% white Moco?? Don't be silenced by the feminazis!!

ReplyDeleteLike y'all don't commit crimes. 😒
ReplyDeleteBut, we certainly don't heed your contribution as well.
DeleteNo. "We'all" don't commit crimes. We get educated, get jobs and go to work. Strange concept for some....
