Arundel man shoots girlfriend, kills self, police say


A 21-year-old Tracys Landing man shot his 20-year-old girlfriend before killing himself after an argument Sunday, Anne Arundel County police said.

Andrew Mackall grabbed a .357-caliber handgun from a gun safe at his parents' house in the 6200 block of Franklin Gibson Road about 4:40 p.m., according to police. Mackall, who lived at the home, shot his girlfriend in the torso before turning the gun on himself, police said.

The woman, who did not live at the house, was flown to Maryland Shock Trauma Center in critical but stable condition. Police have not released the woman's name.

Mackall had a history of violent charges and was convicted of second-degree assault last year, according to electronic court records.
