WASHINGTON — Police have identified the man who gunned down another man in an Oxon Hill, Maryland, liquor store, as well as the Prince George’s County officer who fatally shot the gunman.

Investigators said they found a gun next to Hall’s body.
The department’s internal affairs division is investigating the shooting as is the Prince George’s County state’s attorney, which is standard procedure.
The officer is on routine administrative leave during the investigation.
Police said they’re still investigating the motive for the liquor store shooting, but that Hall and Whitfield knew each other. Hall came into the store and opened fire shortly after Whitfield made a purchase, police said.
Police said there were about two dozen witnesses to that shooting, which was also partially captured on the liquor store’s surveillance video.
