A man was shot and killed at a Chinese carryout restaurant in Capitol Heights, Maryland, on Thursday afternoon. The incident prompted an ongoing investigation by local authorities. Police responded to a report of a shooting at the Oriental Express restaurant and found the victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have not yet identified the victim or disclosed the reason for his presence at the restaurant. The language barrier, as the restaurant’s employees speak Mandarin Chinese, has slowed down the interviewing process of witnesses. Despite this challenge, authorities have emphasized that the shooting seems to be an isolated incident and the community is not in any immediate danger. Investigators are working to piece together the events leading up to the fatal shooting and are urging anyone with information to come forward. The Prince George’s County Police Department will continue to investigate the case throughout the night.
