Three individuals were shot Wednesday night after a fight earlier in the day at Dundalk Middle School.

Baltimore County Police have identified the two suspects arrested and charged in a shooting that occurred Wednesday night in the 100 lock of Lee Lawrence Court in the Turner Station neighborhood of Dundalk.

A 15-year-old male was transported to Johns Hopkins Hospital, as was a 14-year-old male.  A 31-year-old female was transported to Bayview Hospital.  

The injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.  

The shooting appears to be connected to a fight that occurred earlier in the day at Dundalk Middle School, located at 7400 Dunmanway—not at Dundalk High School as police first reported.

Officers responding to the area observed a Chevrolet Camaro that matched the description of the suspect vehicle, and attempted to stop it. The driver did not stop, resulting in a pursuit that ended at Northern Parkway and Reisterstown Road when the suspects struck a Baltimore City police car.  

Both suspects were arrested at the scene.   

Additional traffic and criminal charges may be filed when the investigation is complete, according to police. A police officer was hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries in a car crash during the chase.

“I heard an argument from inside my house. It sounded like a million people, and then I came running outside and heard a lot of gun shots,” said Ashley Martin, 19, who lives across the street from Lee Lawrence Court in Turner Station, where the shooting took place. “I saw a guy running with a gun and there was a black Camaro that pulled away.”

A police officer en route to the scene spotted the Camaro, beginning a high-speed chase to Eastern Avenue and across Baltimore City on Orleans Street. The chase, involving at least a dozen police cars and a helicopter, continued from Route 40 into Woodlawn before coming back into the city and returning to Baltimore County.

McCullough also said he did not know the relationship between the suspects and victims Wednesday night, but said he assumed they were at least acquaintances. He said an argument between two girls that begun at Dundalk Middle School earlier in the day had continued afterward in Turner Station, leading to a fight near New Pittsburgh Avenue and an arrest of a woman around 6 p.m.

That fight, McCullough said, escalated after police made the arrest, and led to the shooting two hours later.

After the shooting started, the three victims fled, with one male victim and the female victim running toward the R.F.C. convenience store, almost two blocks away in the 500 block of Avondale Road. The male victim came inside the store bleeding from his leg, according to employee Dana Stanfield.

“He’d been shot in the leg and was bleeding, but he didn’t seem to be hurt that bad at first,” Stanfield said, gesturing to the floor where the teenager slumped next to a soda cooler. “We called 911. By the time the EMTs arrived, he was hurting, asking for painkillers.”

The store is one of the few spots open in the neighborhood at night, and store employees believed the teenager and others ran there because the lights were on after the shooting started. Emergency responders found the female shooting victim outside the convenience store.

The third shooting victim ran to his home nearby in the 400 block of Maple Avenue before being taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital.

One of the male victims was shot three times, McCullough said. He is believed to be the teenager who ran to Maple Avenue.

“I’m in shock,” said Kim Jones, a Turner Station resident who knows the family of one of the victims. “Everybody knows everybody here.”

Diedrick Walls, who lives on New Pittsburgh Avenue, said a shooting is a rare occurrence in Turner Station.

“Stuff like this doesn’t happen here too often,” he said. “Once in a blue moon. Maybe there are one or two shootings, at most, in a year. That’s it.”

Louise Johnson, who has lived in Turner Station for nearly four years, said the shooting "isn't normal" for the neighborhood.

“Sometimes there will be little battles in school—‘he says’, ‘she says'-type stuff that they bring home," Johnson said. "But, usually it’s just fist fighting. Guns—this is new.”
