One person has been arrested and two people were injured after a shooting in the northern part of Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Police said there were reports of several shots fired in multiple locations Friday afternoon, including in the area of 67th Avenue and Patterson Street in the East Riverdale area.
Police said both of the victims have been transported to a hospital for treatment, with one in critical condition and the other with life-threatening injuries. Authorities said the incident remains active, but there are no outstanding suspects.
Greenbelt Police Department said in a post on X that it was assisting Prince George’s County police in its investigation of what started as an armed carjacking.
WTOP’s Steve Karesh reported live from the scene where he said police were investigating a crashed car. A crime scene investigator confirmed “there was no evidence of gunfire” on or near the car, but that it may be involved in the incident.
More information from the police department will be provided Friday night, officials said.
Nearby schools in the area were temporarily placed on lockdown due to police activity. The lockdown was lifted for most of the schools around 4:25 p.m.
WTOP Traffic reporter Dave Dildine said at least three Maryland state highways are partially or completely blocked by various police agencies, including Route 193 Greenbelt Road at Kenilworth Avenue, Route 201 Kenilworth Avenue at Campus Drive and Route 410 Riverdale Road under the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
