FAIRFAX COUNTY
Man Severely Burned in McLean
A man who appeared to be in his 60s was severely burned last night in a fire in a garden apartment in the McLean section of Fairfax County, a county fire department spokeswoman said.
Renee Stilwell said the fire apparently began in the kitchen of the second-floor apartment in the 7600 block of Tremayne Place.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known, and the man was not identified.

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY
Man Shot to Death in Hyattsville
Prince George's County police were investigating the fatal shooting of a man found Friday afternoon in a Hyattsville apartment near the University of Maryland.
Officer Henry Tippett said Hyattsville police responded to a call at the Towers at University Town Center at 6500 Belcrest Rd. about 2 p.m. Friday. They found a man with a gunshot wound to his lower body.
The man was taken to a hospital, where he died several hours later.
Tippett said the man was not a college student. Police were trying to determine a motive and were investigating whether the man was visiting someone at the apartment building, which houses students from universities in Maryland and the District.
