1 killed, 1 wounded in Prince George’s Co. shooting

One person has been killed and at least one more was wounded in a shooting near the Eastover Shopping Center in Oxon Hill, Maryland, police said.

It happened Wednesday around 2 p.m. in the 5100 block of Indian Head Highway Service Road, police said.

Both of the people who were shot are male, police said. One died at the scene and a teenage boy was taken to the hospital. The teenage boy’s injuries are considered not life-threatening, WTOP’s Alan Etter reported live from the scene.

Police said a third person left the scene without being transported to a hospital. The third person who did not receive medical treatment “was injured just trying to get away from the scene,” Etter said.

Police said the shooting is under investigation and there is currently no information on a suspect.

Both lanes of traffic are closed around the area on Southern Avenue and motorists are instructed to follow police direction.
