BETHESDA, MD — A November trial date has been set for accused Beltway shooter Eulalio Tordil in the May 6 murders of a man at Westfield Montgomery Mall and a woman who was a carjacking target at a Silver Spring Giant store.

According to Maryland online court records, Eulalio Tordil, 63, of Adelphi, will go to trial Nov. 28 on two charges of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and several firearms charges. Tordil, a former federal security officer, faces a life sentence in prison if he is convicted of murder.



One day before the Montgomery County shootings, prosecutors say Tordil gunned down his estranged wife, Gladys Tordil, as she waited for her daughters in a Riverdale high school parking lot. She had received a protective order that forbid her husband from coming near her Prince George's County home, workplace or children.

In all, police say Eulalio Tordil killed three people and injured three others before he was taken into custody in a shopping mall parking lot.



Montgomery County Victim Speaks Carl Unger was at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda on May 6 to have lunch with his friend, Malcom Winffel, 45, of Boyds. Both men were shot, allegedly by Tordil, when they tried to help a woman whose car Tordil was trying to steal, police said.

"He looked dead at us and was smiling before he started shooting," Unger told NBC Washington.

Tordil is charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shootings of Winffel and Claudina Modina, 65, of Montgomery County. Modina, a nurse, was shot in a second failed carjacking attempt at the Giant store in Silver Spring, authorities say.
