Police investigate shootings across DC, Maryland – WTOP News

Police in the District and Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties in Maryland have started multiple shooting investigations.

The latest shooting occurred at the Wheaton Metro Station just before 6 p.m. Thursday.

Metro Transit Police, in coordination with the Montgomery County Police Department, said an 18-year-old male was shot after a dispute moved from the station escalator to the platform. Shiera Goff, the director of public information from Montgomery County police, said the fight may have sparked the gunfire.

“The victim was part of that confrontation,” Goff told reporters at a press conference.

Joint investigations for MTP and MCPD limited Metrorail service along the Red Line between Forest Glen and Glenmont.

Roughly 20 minutes before, at around 5:40 p.m., police in Prince George’s County said a teenage girl was hospitalized after a shooting in Riverdale, Maryland.

That shooting in the 6800 block of Riverdale Road struck a young female outside an apartment complex parking lot. Police said she was in critical but stable condition, and no one else was injured in the shooting.

Police said that apparent gunfire also caused damage to nearby buildings and a vehicle.

Montgomery County police also discovered two men suffering from gunshot wounds at around 5:20 p.m.

Officers said the shooting happened in the 9200 block of New Hampshire Avenue.

Both men struck by the bullets were taken to a local hospital with injuries. One victim is expected to survive the shooting. The condition of the second victim was not available ahead of publication.

No suspects have been identified in any of these shootings.

Student shot in Joppatowne, Maryland high school

One teen shot another during a dispute in a Maryland high school bathroom Friday in what authorities called an isolated incident.

The victim, a 15-year-old student at Joppatowne High School, was in serious condition after being airlifted to a hospital, the Harford County Public Schools said in a news release, citing information it received from the county sheriff’s department.

A 16-year-old student whom police identified as the shooter fled shortly afterward but was caught minutes later nearby, according to the news release. Officials said no information would be released immediately about the weapon, which had not been recovered.

The state’s attorney has said the suspect will be charged, the release said, citing Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler.

Shortly after the shooting, the sheriff’s office asked people to avoid the area, but emphasized that the confrontation was an “isolated incident, not an active shooter.” A parent-student reunification center was established at a nearby church. More than 100 personnel responded to the high school about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Baltimore, Gahler said.

The fight happened two days after a shooter whom authorities identified as a 14-year-old student killed four people at a high school outside Atlanta. Wednesday’s attack renewed debate about safe storage laws for guns and had parents wondering how to talk to their children about school shootings and trauma.
