Police in Prince George’s County, Maryland, say they are investigating a shooting at a Starbucks involving the driver of an armored truck.

It happened Wednesday around 2 p.m. in the 3400 block of Donnell Drive in Forestville.

Acting Deputy Chief Zachary O’Lare said during a news conference that an employee of armored truck company Brinks was on duty at the Starbucks and working behind the counter. That’s when police said a man, who was not an employee of the coffee house, went behind the counter where the armored truck employee was working.

“What transpired between the point of that and the armored car driver pulling his weapon, fatally killing the decedent, that’s what we’re investigating right now,” O’Lare said.

O’Lare did not say whether anyone is in custody, adding that, “There are things that are going to be subject to change.”
