Written by SOURCE on September 6, 2022
A 15-year-old boy was killed when at least two people opened fire inside a 7-Eleven in Maryland Saturday night.
According to ABC News, the Prince George’s County Police Department said the incident occurred about 8 p.m., and De’Andre Johnson has been identified as the teenager who was fatally shot. Another 15-year-old is in critical condition after being struck. A 7-Eleven employee and another adult also sustained gunshot wounds. One of them was treated and released from the hospital, while the other was still hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
An initial statement from the PGPD revealed that all individuals who were shot sustained “trauma to the body.”
“The preliminary investigation revealed two suspects walked into the convenience store and opened fire before fleeing the scene,” a later statement from the department reads. “At this point in the investigation, this does not appear to be a robbery attempt or a random incident. Investigators are looking into whether any of the individuals in the store were targeted by the shooters.”
Authorities are offering a reward of up to $25,000 for any information leading to an arrest and indictment of the suspects involved in the shooting.
