Earlier today Prince George’s County States Attorney Angela
Alsobrooks publicly announced that a Grand Jury has indicted the homeowner
that shot three people, one fatally, on April 15, 2016.
Prince George’s County Fire Fighter/Medic John “Skillet”
Ulmschneider was killed and Morningside Volunteer Fire Fighter Kevin Swain
sustained multiple gunshot wounds and is still recovering. The third person shot was the homeowner’s brother
that sustained a gunshot wound to his shoulder.
Prince George's County Fire Chief Marc S. Bashoor, currently out of town, was
briefed by Alsobrooks by phone before the public announcement and provided this
statement:
“I support the States Attorney and the process by which it
is determined if an individual has broken a law or not. While there are no charges stemming from the
death of Fire Fighter/Medic Ulmschneider and the wounding of Volunteer Fire
Fighter Swain there are now charges placed against the individual that fired
the gun. I would like to thank the
County Police Department and the States Attorney for their due
diligence, time and effort in bringing us to this point. My thoughts and prayers remain with the
Ulmschneider family and the entire Fire/EMS Department as they process this news today as well as to Kevin Swain and his
family as he continues his recovery.”
The Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department will continue
to provide full cooperation and whatever assistance is needed while this case
is adjudicated.
