2 Dead, 2 Hospitalized After Targeted Severn Shooting: Police

SEVERN, MD — A Tuesday evening shooting in Severn left two people dead and two hospitalized, police said.

Officers on Wednesday identified the deceased victims as 23-year-old Derrick Purcell Ahmad McDonald of Severn and 28-year-old Mack Samuel Galloway III of Glen Burnie. Authorities said McDonald died on the scene, and Galloway died at the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie.

Police think the shooting was targeted, not a random act of violence.

Investigators have not yet identified a suspect.

Officers said the shooting happened around 7 p.m. in the 8100 block of Meade Village Road.

Authorities said they found "a vehicle near Pioneer Drive and Jacobs Road occupied by two males who were believed to have been involved in the shooting."

The passenger was taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore with an apparent gunshot wound, police said. He's expected to survive.

The driver was not hurt.

Officers said another adult male victim was not shot, but he was hurt "by a possible metal fragment resulting from the gunfire." Medics took him to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. He's expected to survive.

"Detectives and Evidence Collection Unit personnel collected multiple items of evidentiary value at the crime scene and from the vehicle, and several witnesses were located and interviewed regarding the shooting," the Anne Arundel County Police Department said in a Wednesday press release. "Detectives are still working to establish a motive for the shooting."
