After the robber got the money, he shot Maher and then fled, authorities said.
Maher was a mother of four who was married to her high school sweetheart.
Lynn Maher and her husband, Travis, were high school sweethearts at Seneca Valley High School in Germantown, who went their separate ways and later reconnected, their family member said. They rekindled their love in Iowa, married and moved back to Maryland about 10 years ago.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Det. Feldman at (301) 609-6474.
