Man Charged With Murder In Garrett Shooting

OAKLAND, Md. (AP) ― Authorities in Garrett County have made an arrest in a fatal shooting they initially considered to be a case of self-defense.

The sheriff's office says 51-year-old Norris Rush of Accident is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting at his home last December that killed 29-year-old David Lancaster.

Rush was arrested Thursday after State's Attorney Lisa Thayer Welch reviewed evidence and filed criminal charges. Bond was set at $50,000.

Police reports soon after the shooting said Rush shot Lancaster with a handgun after Lancaster stabbed Rush's hand with a butcher knife.
