Police: Carjacking The Motive For Killing Spree

Montgomery County police believe carjacking was the motive for two fatal shootings Friday, a day after the killing of the suspect's estranged wife, police said.

Eulalio Tordil, 62, was arrested Friday afternoon and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and four counts of use of a handgun in the commission of a felony.

The charges stem from two shootings, one outside Montgomery Mall, in which a man was killed, and another man and a woman were injured, and one outside a shopping center in Aspen Hill, in which a woman was killed.

Montgomery County Assistant Police Chief Russ Hamill said detectives believe the motive for the shootings was attempted carjackings, and there appear to be no links between the victims and the suspect.

"After speaking with with the defendant, our detectives believe that the motivation behind the events in Montgomery County was most likely carjackings, attempted carjackings," Hamill said.
