BREAKING NEWS: SHOOTING DEATH IN BETHESDA—Bethesda, MD
Police have confirmed an altercation, leading to a shooting outside of a residence on Hampden Lane in Bethesda, Maryland, this morning. The shooting victim has been identified as Christopher Young. Young was pronounced dead at the scene. He had been the leading suspect in the disappearance of his wife and child for more than four years.
Witnesses at the scene say Young was armed when he threatened Faith Rabara, founder of the Safe Harbor Limited charity for victims of domestic and partner violence and resident of the address of the incident. A source who requested not to be identified said Young was heard shouting that Rabara needed to “pay for lying.” It’s alleged Rabara shot and killed Young in self-defense when he attacked her.
Police believe Young discovered where Rabara resided due to the recent news stories about the unrelated death of Rabara’s friend and roommate, attorney Jessa Hall, at the same condo property.
Young’s wife, Penelope, had visited Rabara’s charity numerous times before her disappearance. Young alleged Rabara helped his wife kidnap their child and leave the jurisdiction. Rabara has denied those claims.
Following the discovery of new evidence in the case, Rabara and Young recently were questioned about the disappearance of Young’s family and released. That evidence was discredited in a police statement two days ago. The nature of the falsified evidence has not been revealed.
Police say Rabara, who possesses the required license and gun permit for the firearm used in the shooting, is not expected to be charged. The investigation into the disappearance of Young’s wife and child is ongoing.
