Maryland Lt. Governor's Cousin Shot, Killed
WJLA-TV ^ | August 25, 2008

A school teacher killed in a shooting in Montgomery Village on Saturday was the cousin of Maryland Lieutenant Governor Anthony G. Brown, an official statement revealed today.

Lt. Gov. Brown announced that he would be leaving the Democratic National Convention in Denver to return home and support his family in the wake of cousin Cathy Brown's shooting.

Lt. Gov. Brown's statement adds that, "I leave my fellow delegates with a heavy heart and I ask that everyone keep my family in their prayers."

Cathy Brown was an elementary school teacher. It was reported on Sunday that she and a campus security guard were dead after being fatally shot at a Montgomery Village Home.

Police say about 10:30 p.m. Saturday officers responded to a call in Montgomery Village and found a man, identified as 44-year-old Michael Keith Wilson of Hagerstown, and a woman, identified as 40-year-old Catherine Brown, in the garage of Brown's home on Vineyard Haven Drive. Officials say Wilson was threatening Brown with a gun. Officers were speaking with the man to calm the situation when shots went off.

so the ex shoots the teacher and the cops shoot the ex. i would be surprised to find out it went down another way.

perhaps the cops should have shot first after he refused to drop the weapon. if that is what happened.

"Brown and Wilson both died at the scene. Police say a gun was found next to the Wilson's body, but it's unclear who fired the shots"

Wilson has the gun and police are talking to him. The gun is found next to Wilson's body after the shooting.

Is anyone going to give odds that someone other than Wilson did the deed?

Apparently Wilson was the ex-boyfriend of Brown and had threatened her so much that she took extra security precautions. Wilson was also an ex-cop according to the Channel 7 video.

“Wilson was a security officer for The National Cathedral building”

Whoa, that’s scary. Shows you can’t trust anyone just because of their association. What might he have done to the Cathedral?
