Police urged the public to stay away from the area while investigators search for evidence.
"Normally around here it's really a safe place, but hearing that is really upsetting," Gianie Small told WTTG Fox 5 DC.
"To say that you are going to use a gun to rob somebody else when they have a gun —you know, that's just crazy," Camar Gregorio of Prince George's County added.
