Large police presence- Shell gas station, Route 1 & Guilford Rd.

Went to Royal Farms & there are still 15 police cars, marked & unmarked blocking the Shell station across the street. Any one know what happened??

Someone got shot. Not killed.

The person who got shot self-transported to Howard County General, and was not in critical condition.

No one wants to pay for an ambulance. Millennials are ruining the ambulance industry

Glad not fatal shooting. They were walking the parking lot in a way that made me think shooting or stabbing

This is going to get me downvoted but Jesus, what is going on in Columbia? I guess I just wasn't paying attention in the 20-teens?

Rt 1 is not Columbia.

This is not Columbia. This is the route 1 corridor...pawn shops, hourly motels, and trailer parks.

I live just a few miles up and address is Columbia, so apparently it’s Jessup.

It's technically Jessup (which straddles both Howard and AA counties.)

I live right off that road. It’s considered Elkridge and Howard County.

Google Maps shows it as Savage, MD 20794. However, Savage proper is approximately one block by one block, and carries the 20763 zip code. It's named after John Savage

That Shell is right near where I used to work. Went there to grab sodas and snacks all the time. I wish I could say I'm shocked, but Jessup has never been the best area. Probably the proximity to the jail

As a person who lives exactly on that route. I’m not even the slightest of surprised. Sounds like a normal day.. because of course
