[March 8, 2016, Edgewood, MD] Harford County Sheriff’s Office Detectives are seeking two suspects in connection with a robbery and shooting that occurred late Monday night in Edgewood.

On March 7th, at approximately 11:41 p.m., deputies from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Southern Precinct were dispatched to the 700 block of Monticello Court in Edgewood for the report of a person suffering from a possible gunshot wound. Upon arrival, deputies located one victim with multiple gunshot wounds in the roadway, next to a taxi cab. The victim was transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, by Maryland State Police Medevac helicopter, for treatment of what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries. Detectives from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division responded to the scene to continue the investigation.
