The Anne Arundel County Police are investigating an attempted murder-suicide that left a Pasadena woman in the hospital with life-threatening injuries and her estranged partner dead.
On Friday, August 7, 2020 at approximately 12:30 am., the Anne Arundel County Police and Fire Departments responded to the 300 block of Ridge Road, Pasadena, Maryland for the report of a shooting. Upon arrival officers located two persons suffering from gunshot wounds. The adult female victim was transported to a local Trauma Center for treatment of her life threatening injuries. The other person suffering from a gunshot wound was identified as a thirty-three year old male from the 800 block of Willys Drive, Arnold, Maryland, and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
