Gunman Suspected in Maryland Strip Mall Fire

Please make sure your flash player is up to date. Click here to update.


So, I'm here at work yesterday, and around 11am, My wife calls and tells me she has been placed under "lock down" at her work. She works in a Pediatric Medical office. When I asked why, she said "There are police everywhere! Apparently someone next door is robbing the bank." The police came into thier office, and asked them to proceed back to offices without windows because this suspect had opened fire on them.

As the day went by, my wife would call and update me on the happenings across town... Then at 3pm or so, called and said the building (this building in the video is across the street from her office, maybe 50 yards or so) had been set on fire. The once thought of Bank Robber was actually some guy who apparently went into the liquor store in that same building, told everyone to leave, then barricaded himself in. After shooting at the police, and even after negotiations with the police over the phone, he set fire inside of the liquor store. In the same building, was a 7-11, Dunkin Donuts, Bank, Florist, Hair Salon, Dry Cleaners, and a few other businesses.

Needless to say, with all the alcohol, and chemicals from the cleaners I would imagine... the building burnt pretty much to the ground. No one was injured, except the gunman, and there has been no reasoning why he did this.

I know there is media attached, but it's really general conversation... Here is one of the many news stories this has created nationwide...

Fire burned through a shopping plaza near downtown Monday afternoon after an armed man barricaded himself inside a liquor store and apparently started some boxes on fire, authorities said.Police believe the gunman died in the blaze.

The man had walked into the liquor store with a handgun and ordered the owner to get out, Frederick Police Lieutenant Tom Chase told CNN. He said the owner quickly left and called police, but when the officers arrived, they were fired on from inside the store.

"While we were negotiating with the suspect, the building was set on fire," Chase said.

None of the officers was injured, but the gunman was believed to have died in the fire, he said. Chase said it wasn't immediately clear what the gunman wanted in the liquor store or whether it had been a botched robbery attempt.
