A man was killed and a woman injured in a shooting at a cemetery at the burial of a 10-year-old girl killed in a Mother’s Day shooting.

Arianna Davis was killed by a bullet that came through the window of a car she was in on May 14.

About an hour after Arianna’s burial at Washington National Cemetery in Suitland, Maryland, an argument led to more gunfire and another death.

The dispute that prompted the shooting was between funeral home staff at the cemetery, a law enforcement source close to the investigation said. More details were not immediately provided.

There is a person in custody in Tuesday’s shooting, police said, but charges are still pending. It is unclear if the person detained is the suspected shooter.
