The Westminster Police Department is investigating a double shooting which police say occurred Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. in the unit block of Charles St., in the Bishops Garth apartment complex in Westminster.

Police said three men came to an apartment in building No. 99. When the occupants opened the door, one of the three individuals pointed a handgun and fired numerous shots into the apartment.

Two people inside of the apartment were struck by the gunfire. One sustained a gunshot wound to the arm and the other a “grazing” wound, police said.

Both victims were transported to Carroll Hospital Center for treatment.

After the shooting, the three suspects — described only as black males in their twenties — were observed running to the rear of the apartment buildings.

Police said investigators are interviewing victims and other people near the apartment at the time of the shooting.

Anyone with information on this shooting may contact the Westminster Police Department, Criminal Investigations Bureau at 410-848-4646 or the TIPS Line at 410-857-8477.
