Greenbelt Middle School, Lockdown – The police are seeking for two individuals who are connected to two different incidents that resulted in a man and a woman being shot, as well as seven schools in the surrounding area of Maryland that have modified their security measures. The first shooting took place on Lost Knife Circle at approximately 11:45 a.m. on Monday, according to the Montgomery County police department.

The location of the shooting was close to Montgomery Village Middle School, Watkins Mill Elementary, Stedwick Elementary, and Whetstone Elementary. For the sake of safety, a shelter in place was declared at the schools, and it was lifted more than an hour after it was initially declared. It was reported by the Montgomery County police that one man had injuries as a result of the gunshot.

Additionally, witnesses told the police that the man was struck over the head with a machete. The injuries he sustained are not thought to be life-threatening, according to the police. There is not a single suspect in custody. On the 6200 block of Spring Hill Court in Greenbelt, which is located in Prince George’s County, there was a second gunshot that took place. The city police have reported that a woman who is 21 years old was shot.

A temporary lockdown was implemented at surrounding schools, including Dora Kennedy French Immersion School, Greenbelt Elementary School, and Greenbelt Middle School, for around fifteen minutes in accordance with the policy. This was done despite the fact that the shooting did not take place at a school.  The medevac helicopter that landed at Greenbelt Middle School transported the woman who had been shot to the hospital where she is currently being treated. The suspect is still at large, according to the Greenbelt police department, and anyone who has any information about what took place is asked to contact them at the number 301-474-7200.
