announcer: from abc 7 news, this is a breaking news alert. jummy: that breaking news, a pair of suspicious deaths, both in prince george's county. one in the quiet area of accokeek, the other in upper marlboro. brad bell is live right now with the very latest. brad? very sad, a very violent morning in prince george's county. i am in upper marlboro, at a shopping center well known as the home of the dutch village farmers market in upper marlboro. you can s

still ongoing, police trying to figure out exactly what went on. what we know is this. they were initially called, police were, for a pedestrian struck. it was a chaotic scene. they found the mother of the young man struck by the vehicle on the ground screaming. ak-47 -- a gun, and there was a gun, an ak-47 on the scene. is dark-colored range rover the one that struck the young man who was carrying a gun, struck and killed him. we have been told that this had to do with a dispute over a girlfriend, harassment, and a planned confrontation. my sources are telling me that the story may be changing. it may be changing a little bit. they believe they man driving the range rover and the man with the gun did know each other, but

a dispute. it will be quite a while before police can sort this out and get to the bottom of it. the bottom line, a young man instead -- a young man is dead. police found an ak-47 assault rifle on him. the shopping center is closed. it has been a terrible thing to watch as people, grief stricken, dropped to their knees. as we said at the outset, there were two homicides in prince george's county this morning. in accokeek, discovered at just about the same time as this one. police believe it happened some time before that. a man in a townhouse community was found deceased, shot, in a car. police are trying to figure out when that crime happened and what that involves. we will stay on top of both stories throughout today. brad, abc 7 news. jummy: we want to get to our big story we have been covering all morning long.
