A 22-year-old Army Ranger who recently returned from his third tour in Afghanistan was found dead of gunshot wounds Tuesday morning in his Gaithersburg apartment, according to a law enforcement source.

Montgomery County police discovered Michael Anthony McQueen's body in his second-story apartment at the Streamside Apartments on the 400 block of North Summit Avenue after his roommate called police.


"He was a great young man," said his father, Mike McQueen, who visited the apartment yesterday afternoon with homicide detectives. "He had a bright future."

Police spokesman Derek Baliles said last night that investigators have not conclusively determined the cause of death. In a news release, police described the incident as "suspicious." Investigators were trying to determine yesterday whether McQueen shot himself or was slain.
