One Hospitalized After Parkville Shooting: Police

PARKVILLE, MD — A man was hospitalized after a shooting Friday morning that put an elementary school in Parkville on alert, police said. The shooter remains outstanding, police reported Friday afternoon.

Authorities said they received a report of a person shot in the 1600 block of Lyle Court at 10:17 a.m. The shooting was about 0.5 mile away from Halstead Academy, prompting the lockout.

People were asked to avoid the area of Hillsway and Wentworth due to police activity.

By noon, officials said the lockout had been lifted at Halstead Academy, and law enforcement officers were clearing the area.

One person was injured and taken to a local hospital, where police said he was expected to survive.

By noon, officials reported police were clearing the area and reopening roads after conducting a canvass that did not yield any suspects.

Anyone with information about the shooting may call the Baltimore County Police Department at 410-307-2020. Callers may remain anonymous.

Here is what Baltimore County Public Schools says about lockout status:

A Lockout is less serious than a lockdown. A Lockout is used during a community emergency that takes place outside of the school building. It is intended to secure access to the building.

• The school facility is secured by locking all doors from the inside.
• All exterior doors are monitored to ensure no one enters or exits the building without permission.
• Staff is posted near the front entrance of the building to allow exit and entrance with identification.
• Outdoor activities are suspended while on a Lockout.
• All classes and activities within the building are conducted normally.
