Laurel recording studio shooting leaves 2 dead,1 wounded

LAUREL, Md. - Authorities say two people are dead, and one person is injured after a shooting inside Trackhouse Studios in Laurel, Maryland.

The shooting was reported just after 1:34 a.m. at the studios in the 600 block of Lafayette Avenue.

When officers arrived, they found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.  One victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The second victim was transported to a nearby hospital where they later died.  Police say a third victim remains hospitalized after self-transporting to a nearby medical center.

Police say they are speaking with witnesses who were on scene when the shooting happened. Investigators do not believe there is a threat to the community. Preliminarily, it appears the shooting resulted from a dispute between two groups of people.

"We are saddened by this and want to build trust within our community," said Ross James, owner of Trackhouse Studios in a statement released Tuesday morning.

Laurel Chief of Police Russell Hamill says the two murders mark the first two homicides in the city this year.
