Man Shot at Arbutus Gas Station

One man was shot in an altercation that occurred at the Gulf station on the 4300-block of Washington Boulevard in Arbutus Wednesday night.

According to police, two vehicles pulled into the station at around 7:55 p.m. One vehicle was described as an older blue Ford conversion van, and the other was a silver Honda. The occupants of both vehicles were black males, according to police.

Gunfire was exchanged between the occupants of the vehicles, with "multiple shots" fired, said Precinct 1/Wilkens commander Capt. John Spiroff.

One victim was struck by two bullets in the abdomen, and was transported to St. Agnes Hospital in the silver Honda. That person was transferred to University of Maryland's Shock Trauma Center, where his condition is unknown at press time.

The shooting did not involve a robbery of the gas station, according to Spiroff. The violent crimes unit of the county police is investigating the incident, he said.
