By Matt Zapotosky

Prince George's County recorded its 11th killing in as many days Tuesday when a man was shot during an apparent residential robbery in the Hyattsville area, authorities said.

Officers were called to the 8800 block of 38th Avenue for a report of a residential robbery with shots fired, according to Lt. Tammy Sparkman, a police spokeswoman.

Sparkman did not immediately know any other details about the case.

The county's 10th homicide occurred Monday night when a man was stabbed during a fight in a supermarket parking lot in the 2400 block of East University Boulevard in the Adelphi/Lewisdale area, authorities said.

Police have stepped up efforts to curb the outbreak of deadly violence that has provoked concern and alarm in the suburban jurisdiction.
