Police Skeptical of Reported Royal Farm Shooting

UPDATED at 3:40 p.m. CROFTON, MD — Callers reporting a shooting in the Crofton area Tuesday had Anne Arundel County Police searching for a crime scene at area Royal Farm stores and questioning just what happened.

About 6 p.m. a caller reported that a man was accidentally shot in the leg in a vehicle near Holly Hill Lane and Reed Drive. The caller, victim, and shooting suspect all know each other, police were told. The victim and suspect reportedly fled the scene in the vehicle where the victim was shot.

Police spokesman Lt. Ryan Frashure told Patch that the victim reported he was shot in the leg 20 to 30 minutes before he called police. He was at another location and said it happened during an attempted robbery at a Royal Farm store, but was unclear where, possibly on Route 3.

Officers met with the victim in the 2900 block of Cold Spring Way before he was taken to Shock Trauma Medial Center with non-life threatening injuries. Officers visited Royal Farm stores along the Route 3 corridor, but no crime scene was found.

The suspect in the shooting was named Wednesday afternoon as Bradley James McMillian, 20, of the 8000 block of Phirne Road E. in Glen Burnie.

Detectives are attempting to get more information, police said.
