{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police are investigating a murder-suicide at the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center after a man killed his father and then himself, officials said.
Kintrell Todd McEachern Jr., 24, shot his father, Kintrell Todd McEachern Sr., 40, several times after the two reportedly argued over an unknown issue, Anne Arundel County police said, WBALTV reported. The 24-year-old then took his own life later in the day, police said.

"It's our understanding the son came in a separate vehicle, confronted his father over some issue then he shot the father to death."

The subject of the argument was not immediately known.

"These family disputes sometimes explode, they explode at the house, they explode in parking Lot [sic] and there's no telling when it will happen and where."
