(EDEN, MD) – Maryland State Police are searching for multiple suspects wanted for a home invasion and shooting in Wicomico County early this morning.
The suspects are described as three African American males dressed in black. Two were reportedly carrying handguns and one carried a military-style rifle. There is no suspect vehicle description.
The victim is a 22-year-old man who is not being identified at this time for reason of his personal safety. He was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where he is being treated for a gunshot wound to the leg.
Shortly before 3:30 a.m. today, Maryland State Police from the Salisbury Barrack responded to a call for a home invasion and shooting in the 3600-block of South Upper Ferry Road, Eden, Md. Troopers requested response by investigators from the State Police Criminal Enforcement Division.
The preliminary investigation indicates that prior to the 911 call, the victim was awake in his home when three suspects broke through an exterior door and entered the residence. They confronted the victim and demanded money. During the confrontation, the victim was shot in the leg and he reported cash was taken from him.
Three others sleeping in the home were awakened by the noise. Two were directed to the ground at gunpoint by the suspects and the third retreated to a bedroom and hid. No one else reported being injured.
State Police crime scene technicians responded to process the residence and surrounding area. Lookouts have been provided to area law enforcement agencies. Additional assistance was provided by the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office and the Wicomico County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Anyone with information about this incident or the suspects involved is urged to contact Senior Trooper James Brant at the Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack, 410-749-3101, or atjames.brant@maryland.gov. Callers may remain confidential.
The investigation is continuing.

Interesting timing, eh?
The police can't be everywhere time to bring back neighborhood citizen watch groups, Maybe a social media site people can post to for starters.
You already disclosed who it was earlier.
I know the victims. What are you inferring Mr Albero?
12:26, Just as we exposed the water leak in Fruitland, I told one of the business owners that by exposing it on SBYNews the City will be forced to publish a release after we expose it, they did. The same goes with this particular case. I exposed that it happened and a few hours later the Police finally chose to put it out there. That's why I said, "Interesting timing, eh". So, what are YOU trying to imply I was trying to say?
There was another armed invasion last night on Emory ct around 11 pm. Victim stated 4-5 GUYS with guns.
Joe reported this way before news did is what hes saying dumbs..
The life of drugs an drug dealing !!
If it was 5 guys, i think they have a place on the south end of 13.
You also posted the Fruitland Boil Water Advisory before they actually put it on their own website. I was looking for it at 7:30am when they promised an update and found it here first.
Please let these thug wanna be's invade my home....when I call 911, I'll be asking then to bring 3 body bags to collect the remains!
Joe. I predict you will be either dead or in jail within a year,
There's robberies, burglaries, home invasions every day in this sh!th*£€. What's your point? We need armed vigilantes.
