More details on that. The suspect in a double-shooting at a Jessup truck stop jumped in front of MARC 502 near Annapolis Road and Whitfield Chapel Road in Lanham, MD. MARC 404 rescued the passengers of 502. MARC 406 was probably already in route and ordered to go slow past the scene before police ordered the railroad traffic halted while they investigated.
Traffic resumed around 12 noon, and there was a TON of Amtrak traffic backed up.
