Maryland State Troopers Are Looking For Four Armed Men On The Eastern Shore

(Princess Anne, MD) – Maryland state troopers from the Princess Anne Barrack are looking for four armed men involved in an overnight shooting that occurred just before 5:00 p.m. yesterday in Somerset County.

The suspects are described as three African- American males and one Caucasian or possible Hispanic male. There are two victims and their names are not being released at this time.

Just before 5:00 p.m. yesterday, Maryland State troopers from the Princess Anne Barrack along with officers from the Princess Anne Police Department and sheriff’s deputies from Somerset County Sheriff’s Department responded to the 12000 block of Somerset Avenue in Princess Anne for a report of shots fired. This call was placed by one of the victims.

The preliminary investigation revealed one of the victims was operating a black and tan Lincoln Town Car traveling southbound on Somerset Avenue.
