Teen Shot In Glen Burnie, Detectives Seek Tips: Report

GLEN BURNIE, MD — A teenager told police that he was shot Sunday in Glen Burnie, a press release said.

The 15-year-old victim reported that the encounter happened around 1:50 a.m. when he was walking from a friend’s house near Elvaton Road and Highland Drive. The boy told officers that he heard about six shots and was hit by one of them, the release said.

Authorities then responded to the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center around 2:45 a.m.

The victim was unfamiliar with the neighborhood, so he could not give an exact location of where it all happened.

Police searched the area, but they did not find any spent shell casings or damage from gunfire. Officers also spoke with neighbors. Nobody reported hearing gunshots.

Detectives are still investigating. The Anne Arundel County Police Department asked anybody with information to call (410) 222-6145. Tipsters can stay anonymous by dialing (410) 222-4700.
