A winter storm that contributed to at least five deaths in the US midwest was pummeling the mid-Atlantic region for a second day on Sunday, bringing snow, freezing rain and power outages.
Nearly 200,000 people were without electricity in Virginia and North Carolina. The wintry mix was also causing problems at airports in the region, including more than 250 flight cancellations at the three main airports serving the nation’s capital.
In Baltimore, a man was fatally shot as he shovelled snow early on Sunday morning. Police said a 43-year-old man was outside shovelling at 4.40am when an unidentified suspect shot him in the shoulder and head. He died at a local hospital.
The storm was expected to continue into Sunday evening.
