Police: Victims 'Uncooperative' in Silver Spring Shooting

Two men suffered non-threatening gunshot wounds near a restaurant in Silver Spring Tuesday night, police said.

Two men who were shot and wounded Tuesday night near a Chinese restaurant in Silver Spring are not cooperating in the police investigation, a police spokeswoman said.

"They're really not forthcoming with any information, so I'm not sure how far we're going to get on this," said Officer Janelle Smith, a spokesperson for Montgomery County Police.  

Officers originally responded to the Golden China restaurant on Old Columbia Pike in the Fairland neighborhood of Silver Spring a few minutes after 7 p.m. Tuesday with a report of a stabbing, according to police.
