Triple Shooting Near Elementary School In Cherry Hill Leaves 2 Dead, 1 Injured
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- One person was killed and two others injured in a shooting near a south Baltimore elementary school Monday afternoon, police said.
Officers were called to the scene in the 800 block of Roundview Road and 800 block of Bethune Road just after 3:30 p.m. That's near Patapsco Elementary Middle School.
Police initially said two people died and a third walked into an area hospital for treatment of at least one gunshot wound.
The first victim, a 41-year-old man, died due to a gunshot wound to the chest. Another victim 28-year-old Detrell Garvin was shot in the head. He died from his injuries the next day.
The 27-year-old man who walked into the hospital is expected to survive, police said.
"I just talked to him earlier," said Duck Jefferies.
Jeffries told WJZ he knew one of the victims and heard the shots.
"I was visiting my mother and I heard the gunfire, but you don't think it's somebody you know," he said.
