A shooting at the funeral of a 10-year-old girl left one person dead and another injured in Washington, DC, Tuesday, ABC 7 reported. The service had been for a 10-year-old girl that was shot and killed by a stray bullet on Mother's Day.
Officers arriving at Washington National Cemetery found a man and woman suffering from gunshot wounds. The man was pronounced dead at the scene and the woman was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a hospital, ABC reported.
Police say the victims were in a dispute "not directly related to the funeral."
"We believe that this was a dispute totally unrelated to what was going on with the funeral, the circumstances leading up to the funeral, the circumstances into the investigation in Washington, D.C. This was totally independent of that," Prince George's County Police Department Major David Blazer said.
One person has been arrested, police said.
