House Party Leaves 1 Dead, 2 Injured

BOWIE, Md. - Police say a shooting at a house party on a wealthy street in Bowie has left one man dead and two injured.

Prince George's County police were searching for a suspect in the shooting that killed 21-year-old Aaron Leach of Upper Marlboro outside a home on Lottsford Terrace late Saturday.

Police spokesman Cpl. Clinton Copeland says two other men, aged 21 and 23, also were shot and were being treated at a hospital.

Leach's mother says she was told that her son had tried to stop a fight between two people at the party. She says one man left but came back with a gun. Neighbors say they heard about a half-dozen shots.
