Police respond to shooting outside Aspen Hill McDonald's
Montgomery County shooting
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. - A brazen shooting in broad daylight outside a McDonald's in Aspen Hill is currently under investigation by police.
On Tuesday morning, just before 11 a.m., officers from the Montgomery County Police Department responded to the 2200 block of Bel Pre Road following a report of a shooting.
FOX 5 spoke with the manager of the McDonald's who confirmed the shooting did not happen inside the restaurant.
An initial investigation reveals that the incident began when two unknown suspects got off a Ride-On bus and became involved in a verbal altercation with two victims inside a nearby car. The confrontation quickly escalated, and one of the suspects fired shots at the vehicle, striking it twice.
Bystanders say they were in the area when they heard gunshots but did not see the shooting. They also saw people running in the area, along with the suspects.
Montgomery County Police K-9 units canvassed the area, and shell casings were recovered from the scene.
Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, but the suspects remain at large.
