Fullerton Shooting: Police Say One Injured, One in Custody

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — One man was injured and another person was in custody Tuesday afternoon in connection with a shooting in Fullerton that authorities said was not random.

At 12:29 p.m., officials said they responded to the 7900 block of Belair Road for a report of a shooting and found a man who had been shot in the lower body in the parking lot of the Fullerton Plaza — behind McDonald's and in front of IHOP.

Police said the victim was taken to an area hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

Meanwhile, law enforcement from the Parkville and White Marsh precincts fanned out to look for the suspect, a search that did not take long.

By 12:35 p.m., an officer from the White Marsh precinct had located the suspect on Rossville Boulevard, which authorities reported was briefly closed during a search for evidence.

Since the suspect has not been charged, officers are not releasing the person's identity.

The violent crimes unit is investigating the case, which police said appeared to be a targeted incident.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Baltimore County Police Department at 410-307-2020.
