GERMANTOWN, Md. — A gunman accused of shooting two Topgolf employees in Germantown Tuesday has been arrested.

Montgomery County Police say the incident started when a security guard told Cyprian Nwaigwe, 28, to leave because the business was closing for the night.

This apparently angered Nwaigwe leading to a physical altercation with the guard.

Things escalated to the point where Nwaigwe allegedly pulled a gun and shot the guard and another 18-year-old Topgolf worker.

Nwaigwe then fled the scene. Police located him Wednesday morning at a hotel in Ocean City, Maryland.

He now faces two counts of attempted murder and is being held without bail.

Both victims suffered serious injuries but are expected to survive.
