Prince George’s County Police Department is currently investigating a fatal shooting that occurred at the MGM Resort and Casino in Oxon Hill. The shooting took place in the early hours of the morning, leaving one person dead and sending shockwaves through the community.
According to police, the victim, whose identity has not yet been released, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in one of the hotel rooms at the resort. Emergency services were called to the scene, but despite their best efforts, the victim succumbed to their injuries.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting are still unclear, and investigators are working tirelessly to piece together what happened. Meanwhile, the casino remains open for business, but visitors and employees are understandably on edge following the tragic event.
MGM Resorts International, which owns and operates the Oxon Hill location, released a statement expressing their condolences to the victim’s family and reaffirming their commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for all guests and employees.
This is not the first time that violence has marred the MGM Resort and Casino in Oxon Hill. In 2017, three people were shot and wounded in a separate incident, prompting increased security measures at the establishment.
In the wake of this latest shooting, residents of Southern Maryland are calling for action to address the underlying issues that have led to such violence in their community. Many are questioning the effectiveness of security measures at the casino and whether more needs to be done to protect visitors and employees.
As the investigation continues, Prince George’s County Police Department is urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward and help bring the perpetrator to justice. In the meantime, the community is left to mourn the loss of yet another life to senseless violence.
