Armored Truck Employee Shoots, Kills Man Inside Maryland Starbucks: Police

PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, Md. – An investigation is underway following a deadly shooting incident that occurred on Wednesday afternoon at a Starbucks in Forestville.

The Prince George’s County Police Department says the event took place around 2 p.m. on Donnell Dr., where an armored truck employee was at the location for business purposes.

Preliminary findings suggest that a man entered the establishment and proceeded behind the counter, prompting the armored truck employee to respond with gunfire, resulting in the man’s death.

It was unclear if the man who was killed was armed or if he was trying to rob the worker.

“What transpired from when the armored truck employee removed his handgun and fired rounds killing the decedent to the point of the decedent walking in and the point of the armored truck driver pulling his weapon and discharging – that’s what we are currently investigating right now, what transpired,” Prince George’s County Police Acting Deputy Chief Zachary O’Lare said.

Starbuck released this statement: “We can confirm that all of our partners (employees) are safe, and our focus right now is on them and supporting local authorities in their investigation. Our store will remain closed while we provide care to our partners during this difficult time, and our thoughts remain with this customer’s family and loved ones.”
