According to the Annapolis Police Department, the shooting took place in a residential area along the waterfront just south of Back Creek and the suspect was peacefully taken into custody immediately after.
Officers responded to the home at 7:50 p.m. and found six people shot, police Chief Edward Jackson said Monday afternoon.
Three people died, one wounded victim was taken by medical helicopter to a local trauma unit and the other two victims were taken to local hospitals, Jackson said.
Police announced a person was in custody Sunday night and said there was no threat to the public.
