The Recruiter Was The Shooter

"GERMANTOWN, MD — The family of a slain Rockville High School student says she was killed as she was trying to stop a man from committing suicide.

"Senior Michelle Miller, 17, was found dead Monday morning at the Germantown home of 31-year-old Adam Anthony Arndt, in the 12900 block of Pinnacle Drive. Arndt, a U.S. Army staff sergeant, was also found dead inside the home.

"County police are investigating the incident as a murder-suicide, and believe Arndt shot Miller and then himself.

"Miller was planning to enter the U.S. Army Reserves after graduating, and Arndt helped recruit her, according to her family.

"Arndt contacted Miller Sunday night indicating that he was suicidal, said Tara Brady, Miller’s aunt. `She went over to try to talk him out of it.`

"Police found the two shortly after 10 a.m. the next day."
