Pasadena Woman Awakened By Armed Man, Shots Fired: Police

PASADENA, MD — A Pasadena woman was awakened by an armed intruder who fired gunshots in the house before fleeing, Anne Arundel County Police say. The breakin was reported about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday at a home in the 1600 block of Colony Road in Pasadena.

Authorities say residents reported they were awakened by two unknown men who entered their house. A woman woke up to find a man, armed with a handgun, standing over her. The intruder asked to speak to someone whose name the victim did not recognize.

That startled the intruder, who fired gunshots into an interior wall of the house and the pair of suspects fled from the residence. Officers searched the area but did not locate the suspects.

No one was injured during the armed encounter, police say.

The only description of the suspects is that men of unknown race wearing mask and dark clothing were the intruders.
