In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Authorities were dispatched to the scene around 6:20 PM and, upon arrival, began their investigation into the reported shooting. They found evidence that bullets had impacted not only a vehicle but also a house. The victim of the shooting was later located at a different location than where the incident initially took place. This individual sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the arm and was subsequently transported to Meritus Medical Center for treatment. The investigation remains ongoing, and further details are being withheld at this time.
The Hagerstown Police Department is appealing to the public for assistance in their investigation. Anyone who may possess information pertinent to this incident, or who may have captured relevant video surveillance footage, is encouraged to come forward. Individuals with information can contact Detective Ackerman directly via email at jackerman@hagerstownpd.org or by calling 301-791-2543. Your cooperation could be vital in resolving this case.
